Hunted
Running
through
the long grass
under stones
Wind blows
ruffles
white fur
running
Eating
nibbling
yellowed grass
Yellow
Far seeing
short dash
between stones
Black talons
hanging down
Wind whispers
of danger
from above
Running fast
eating mosses
dashes under rocks
Wind howls
through the gaps
between stones
of refuge
Can't stop
must run
there's green grass
by those rocks
Wind rises
to a galeforce
crescendo
bearing the black wings
Eating the grass
nibbling --------
The force 9 gale
easily lifted the
golden eagle from
the summit of Rapaire
Hanging from its talons
the bloodied lifeless form
of a white
mountain hare
through
the long grass
under stones

Encounter
I found you on the mountain path
below the frowning crags
looking out over
the long water
The way was steep
to me
but of no consequence
to you
A shadow flew down
from behind
the steep cliff
but kept well away
Its talons destined
not to take you
I glanced around
at the mountains
Something you were
not aware of
Staying hidden
from the dreaded eyes
Swooping down
unseen
unwarned of
to the next hour
I touched you
but you did not move
perhaps you sensed
I kept harm at bay
Not long after
I glanced up
as I continued
my long way down
Rapaire
Stulabhal
crowned over
where you hid
A mouse
below the frowning crags
looking out over
the long water

Langadale
The path of leisure
slowly rises
from the bovine village
at the side of the sea
Mountains loom closer
Stulabhal's hump
blocking the western sky
before the valley is reached
Lonely Langadale
overshadowed by
dark looming peaks
light only from the north
The only way out is up
And Stulabhal's cliffs
frown whichever
way you go
Teileasbhal I once stood upon
I crossed from Bunabhainneadar
I crossed to Bhoisimid
and from Langabhat
But I shall always return
from whichever direction
to stand by the river
in Langadale
