A stream crosses a green and golden Irish valley towards the Atlantic, among red roses and dawn light

Poem

Whispers of the Earth

The colours and elements of the Earth become voice, memory and a promise of renewal.

Read the poem

World of sounds World of voices World of noises

World of light World of darkness

World of blue Whispers of wind on high Dreams that float like paper kites Peace in the breath of morning light

World of yellow Laughter in a field of grain Sunlight dancing on windowpanes Joy that hums in golden rain

World of red Fire in the blood, alive and bold Roses blooming where stories unfold A heart that dares, a love untold

You shaped me from soil and water You breathed life into me with fire and air

But I used you But I abused you And now, my dear planet, you are crying because of me

And still, within the calm between the rains, I hear your whispers, gentle like soft strains, Calling me back to roots where life first springs, To ancient grounds where hope forever clings.

The pulse of soil beneath my feet, The breath of wind, both fierce and sweet, The flame that burns within my core, And waves that sing along the shore.

A call of earth, air, fire, and sea, A promise of life’s eternity.
