It’s one of those rare Irish days
of sun and blue skies
in early spring.

We are surrounded by the gentle slopes
of the Sperrins.
High up, near Eagles’ Rock,
falcons soar silently,
crows swoosh past just overhead,
larks chorus
and bunnies hop away into burrows.

This place feels timeless.
It calls me to stop and be still.
My worries and cares
are a distant memory.

Moydamlaght on a sunny spring time –
peace for the mind
and rest for the soul.
