Land of Forever Youth Part Three
then he began telling
the story
of the magical land and his love
tears rolling down
his cheeks
broken hearted
in the magical land
of Tir Na Nog
just as he was
ending the story
in great weariness
with the pain
inside his heart
swept completely
away in feelings
of painful emotion
closing his eyes
he fell into
eternal slumber
even to this very day
fishermen and lighthouse keepers
they sometimes
see on foggy nights
when the moon
is full face
a shimmering
white horse dancing
on the top
of the waves
along the shores
of Ireland
Niamh the red haired maiden
still rides the horse
forever searching
for her lost love ,
her soul will never rest
until she finds
her beautiful Oisin
in her his love
never died .
this story was told to me by a granny when i was young i cried
it was so sad yet even now so beautiful
