AN APRIL DAY

O'Briens Bridge ~ (T Carey) ~

There is a stillness here trapped by water
A place where time hangs suspended
Caught like a dragonfly in frozen elevation...
Pressed like a precious flower
Between the pages of a yellow book...
Every bush and tree and jumping fish
Performing to a symphony of calm,
And the ochred furze on riverbank applauds
As the swan and water hen lithely skim
Their silent, graced ovation...
And every breath and bough that stirs
Cranes a neck to see the ebbing light
Of such a sweet and pleasant April day.

    You describe it well, as always.

    Visited this place and was shocked by the amount of litter on the riverbank. Is no place sacred?

I welcome comments , just not obscenities or malicious attacks on others. The keyword of the Dew of Hermon is harmony, which means not always agreement but always respect and brotherly love.
