Crann / A Tree

Yaşar Koç Photography

Crann, Seanchara Nochtann crann mar sheanchara ba dhóigh leat cara a thréigeas fadó ag feitheamh liom atá sé leis na blianta fada - cén gaineamhlach é seo? - faoin mbáisteach, faoin ngrian, oíche agus lá ach nílimse ach ag gabháil tríd níl am agamsa aon chuid de seo a dheimhniú ar aon nós níl ann ach brionglóid Nach ea? Crainn eile, balbh, finnéithe ar an bhfeall nua seo

Tree, an Old Friend A tree appears and seems to me like a lost friend one I had abandoned a long long time ago it has waited for me all these years - what desert is this? - in sunshine, in rain night and day but I am only passing through I haven't time to verify any of this ah sure it's all a dream Not so? Other trees, mute, witnesses now to this fresh betrayal

Amhrán Lonrach na Scál/Radiant Song of Shadows

Amhrán Lonrach na Scál Nuair nach bhfuil ann ach imlíne scáil scáthchruth in aghaidh spéartha suaite sin í an uair chun folús na beatha a tholladh agus patrún do shaoil a fheiscint mar atá: scáth-phuipéadóireacht! Cúig éan i gcrann de scáileanna iad, sin uile: éist, amhrán lonrach na scál á chanadh acu don domhan mór

Radiant Song of Shadows When there is only an outline a shadow a silhouette against turbulent skies this is the time to penetrate the emptiness of existence to see the pattern of one's life for what it is: shadow puppetry! Five birds in a tree all made of shadow, that's all singing a radiant shadow song to the great wide world
