GOING HOME

We watch as the wee people dance and sing. We`re coming home.....

 

GOING HOME

 

Baby sister squeals with joy

As she dances in the field of foii

Mama sings , The Pipes are Calling

While all the Wee ones flee

To further silver thorn

 

Oh, can you hear them

Shrill little voices

The trill of pipes

Can you hear ?  Listen !

Listen, there !  That sound

 

Little old man so ancient

Sitting on a fairy mound

No finer gentleman will

E`re be found

Shoes with tassels bright

 

Holding his sides with all his might

He watches all his little kin

Skip and dance with glee

Shhhhh !  Quiet !  Don`t disturb

We`re the dark and they`re the light

 

Sun sinking , day is done

Little people live as one

I could watch them all day long

For they are we and

We all are one

[Norma M Sutton]

I like the ebb and flow of this poem. It catches a feeling of ancient times.

[Sarah Hawkinson]

The way you use the language is exquisite! beautiful little story you have created. As a people watcher, I especially love the last three lines. It may not be what I assume it to be, but that's the art of writing!

[Julie Dant]

Ok...now I KNOW I must INSIST that you come live by the sea with me. ;0) OH to have a partner capable of expressing SUCH romanticism with beautiful and at the same time whimsical expression. Do you ever look back, Eagle? I mean just to count all the females you've left lying in a swoon from reading your work? ;0) ....as far as the eye can see.....
Yer a laddie after me own heart ye are! ;0)
You have painted such "suaimhneas" with your words. Ever notice how Gaelic just looks and sounds so much more beautiful than the English language?

Sun sinking , day is done
Little people live as one
I could watch them all day long
For they are we and
