The Sperrin Mountains

The Sperrins

Take A dander over Peat clad slopes
find the ancient past alive
on the fringes of the Sperrins.

Pigeon top, a silent view.
Absorb, sponge like, the secrets
of the Mass rock were hooded priests
pray in whispers.

Beagmore stone circles retell
hardships of bronze age man,
Strong, creative,
protective of family clan.

The Olgham stone of Greencastle,
notches ingrained, communicators
of the barren landscape.

Take A dander over the Sperrins,
sense the myths hidden in bedrock,
hear the echos of the past re-claimed.
