HIMSELF AND SINGE They walk the bogs and boreens Himself and Synge, sketching his thoughts on minute pads as the fields of Conammoragh stroll beneath their feet. The pads they dicards to the vagaries of the winds Their message etched deep within. They found everyone of interest and charm. No tale so boring or farfetched to hold their attention. They was told of the mass fleeings To the land of plenty, Where gold littered the streets And wondered at their return, until their eyes were tempted to the lush green fields catching up to the mountains, And they nodded. They heard of the poverty and sadness. The endless scratching of soil for sustenance. And they saw the beauty As they tramped the hills of Conammoragh, Himself and the stalwart, dying Singe. |

I was intrigued with this in that it seemed like two on a trek. In their travels they found people that were interesting and at one time were writing things down that came to mind, and then it came to a point there was no need...they just became imbedded in them and had no need to write it down anymore. I am probably way off, but this is how I struck with this write. Nice story in this!!!!! SharaRose @-->-- Of sound, and speech let all lift the hearer! |

I think a lot of us could relate to the part about writing things down that come to mind. Hugs Ethel |
