An Cailleach

Look to the skies and you will see her; 
as the buzzard soars in the wind drifts
Look to the seas and you will hear her;
as the seal dances with the moon tides
Look to the earth and you will smell her;
as the cow grazes on the clover life

She is the mountain, the wind, the babbling brook;
She is the red, hot fire of your blood
and the stony cold rock of your bones;
She is our landscape,
She is everywhere,
Present in everything

Untouchable, immovable, timeless
Grandmother, Wise Woman, An Cailleach
She Whose Body is the Earth
