Love is a Place

Tramore Bay, Co. Waterford

love is a place

love is a place

& through this place of 

love move

(with brightness of peace)

all places

yes is a world

& in this world of

yes live

(skilfully curled)

all worlds.

(e.e. cummings)

Tramore Bay. Co. Waterford

Yes

 

YES

You’ll find me in the snowdrop’s nod

You’ll hear me in the crack of a golf ball

You’ll feel me in the heat of hug 

You’ll sigh me as the teapot pours

You’ll long for me in the doctor’s eyes

You’ll taste me in tears of joy

You’ll recognise me as a tick or a wink

You’ll hear me scream in a newborn’s cry

You’ll pray me, pray me in times of terror

You’ll answer me when true love kneels

 

But will you remember me when I plead?
