Irish Weavers DNA

Irish Weavers DNA

I can hear the distant shuttle,

I can see the slanting light,

as it settles on the looms,

in the fading of the light -

a gene fuelled soup, propelling me along.


It’s the sum of history’s past

it’s the promise in the future

in it’s colour, shade and strands.

the weft and warp of life;

it’s the map scratched on my psyche

it’s the shade of

who

and what

and why...

I am

ME.
