A poem by Eithne Reynolds
Binn Guaire
Diamond Mountain
Leaving Galway city
To Cross Binn Guaire,
I came upon some spider webs
Of gossamer thread strung across the yellow gorse.
The mist was heavy on the branches,
The webs caught every drop of dew
Weaving through the hedge rows,
A filigree of jewels.
There must have been a world of spiders at work that morning
Spinning and weaving for God alone,
I was an unexpected traveller on the road that day
They could not have known I’d see
They did not weave for me.
