"Iona" [1987]

 



                    Iona  [1987]
 
The gulls wheel and cry over Iona,
In and out, waves beat and pound--
Figured bass of Celtic prayer,
Meditation's harmony.
 
Eons ago no houses here,
No ferries plowing from shore to shore;
Only the footsteps of silent monks
And cries of gulls--the gulls and the sea.


--Mary M. Isaacs--
