ridire

from out of nowhere, you have come,
a ridire appearing out of the mist over
Loughanure near Gaoth Dobhair

a vision, mystifying yet familiar,
visage hidden from view,
soul and heart leading the way

with sweetness and faith,
you reach out for the
longing, held deep within my soul

as if it were waiting for you,
an abundant, burgeoning joy
set to blossom at your touch
