Atmospheric Phenomena

By Noelene Beckett Crowe

Anticipation with exhilaration

On an August evening at hallowed site

Amid assemblage, at one with Spirits

Ancient tribes, Previous witnesses

Musing as fiery Sphere meandered across Celestial space

Prior to an awe – inspired breath-taking

Occasion atop summit of the Reek

Awesome awareness, silence descended as the odyssey

Unfolded down the Sacred Peak

Too brief an experience as sun rolled

Cognisant of timeless emotions

Gratitude to Gerry Bracken for his revelation

To the elemental grandeur of Bohea Stone

To Brother Sun for his phenomenal gift.
