Autumn
Autumn butterflies
in full sunshine
at the gable of the house
drinking nectar
from the golden hearts
of Michelmas daisies
a silken wind
amongst the stalks
stirring thoughts
another autumn
and you beside me
when I didn’t understand
the shortness of life
as I do now.
Fómhar
Féileacáin fómhair
faoi iomlán gréine
ag binn an tí
ag ól neachtair
as croíthe ómracha
nóiníní Mhichíl
gaoth shíodúil
i measc na ngas
ag corrú smaointe
Fómhar eile
is tú le m’ais
nuair nár thuigeas
díomuaine
mar a thuigim anois é.
