Three Haiku from Ireland

On Easter Monday, I traveled to Ireland for a writing retreat, giving my blog a rest while generating fresh ideas for future posts. Today I offer three haiku written in the ruins of the church named for St. Colman Mac Duach.


Ancient prayer grows
from the stone. Small fern speaks life
into hopeful hearts.


Warmh of holiness.
Sanctuary of silence.
Eternity speaks.


I offer my heart
on this ancient altar as
prayers seep from stones.
