IRISH CLIFFS OF MOHR
Shifting from a surface firm, plunging towards the depths
Down the jagged, shearing cliffs, ocean weaves had leapt
Drenched by salt of icy seas, music in the roar
Salutations traveler, welcome to this shore
Watchers hide in rugged cliffs
As the winds and fog would drift
Have you seen those ancient eyes
Timeworn in primordial guise
If you listen, would they speak
From their heights of rugged peak
Might their language be the old
Could it warm a heart grown cold
Answer questions never asked
Always first and always last
Souls see all, yet never roam
Salty whispers...welcome home

To define them is not necessary and not possible... they are illusive, powerful, and windy. But how could anyone, especially a masterful poet like yourself, not have a need to express the feelings they evoke? Your poem flew to my gut... which is where the memories of this place reside... and this is a fine and true tribute to them.
katy xox. p.s. May I ask that you find Cliffs of Mohr, my poem in my archives... ? I'd love for you to read it. I was in Ireland in 2001. Thanks.
