Teannalach

     

(the magic of language) 

 

Beside the lake

you hear the ripple

of the waters and

the sound of wind on the water, you know

on a summer’s day

when the lake is absolutely still

and everything is silent

the elements and

the surface of the lake

make a magic music together

 

teannalach

 

tune in to the silence

and hear

the unheard music

of the lake

 

teanga na locha  the tongue or the language of the lake

an tsean loch  the ancient lake / the lake beneath the lake
