Fallen walls
try to speak
Stones be worn
where moss grows
Rolling hills
passing through
Names unknown
where we stand
Clonmacnoise, County Offaly, Ireland.

I love the duality of cemeteries. They are creepy, but beautiful at the same time. Even though they are a place for the dead, life is everywhere.

I loved my trip to Ireland! Always wanted to go back-haven’t yet. Nice poem, too.

Europe always amazes me with its old graveyards. They always have so much character and so much life. I love the beauty and irony of that. 🙂

Aloha C.B.,
A fellow blogger, (Melissa Maygrove) sent me a link to this post and I just wanted to say I loved the picture – and indeed have taken many of the same myself.
I was born and raised in Dublin, and many of these old, old graveyards have always interested me 🙂
Cheers!

Your words describe Ireland so well. So many stories are kept by the stones. Your beautiful photo takes me back there.

Its a shot that surprised me when I printed it out. On the screen it look uneven and odd, but once it blew up everything about it was what I had in mind when I took the shot. I guess you just never know!
