…for the life and work of Seamus Heaney
for the Muse who drew him through himself
then out of himself to translate the world
to us in tongues not easy to understand
but in allowing the power of language
to hold us, meaning flows, and in reverie
we know who he is: Bard in the wilder-
ness who did not abandon his native land
of human touch. He left a path of words
to follow, crumbs he had dropped
on his way out to the poems.
Te words, the lines.. every part of the poem is getting inside the reader, . it deserves a 5/5. great work!
I would be grateful if you could check out some of my works too 🙂
