Curtain Up

Posted at 02:47 PM on September 20, 2009

 

 Taken at Beagmore stone circle alignment, between Omagh and Cookstown in County Tyrone.

 

 

 

The morning climbs above the house.

I admire the beauty of the lifting mist.

The bleached horizons above the rooftops;

steam floating of the dewy tiles

like smoke signals.

Winding roads too small for map

marking; cut paths through the county.

The crows and blackbirds

line up on the fence

making the most of the drying puddles

and refilled nut bags; meant for

wrens and robins!

The air blanched of spring with

the odd housefly busying about.

Much too early I think.

 

As long as the morning light

combs across your face,

 

as long as the curtains open anew;

there draws the breath of theatre.

beautiful Aine, you paint a picture

"As long as the morning light
combs across your face,

as long as the curtains open anew;
there draws the breath of theatre."

i'm putting those lines on my site and giving credit to you

like the countryside of Tyrone in you photo too
