Magical Moher

The screaming white children
fly beneath the transformed sea
all the while the wise cliff smiles -
for she knows

The sea crashes against her face,
exposing her to the elements.
The truth has forever moulded her smile.

A woman stands on the cliff
facing the sea
and smiles.
For the sea reflects the truth,
she succumbs to her fragility
which is, paradoxically, her strength

(March 1999, Cliffs of Moher, Ireland)
