My Poetry Poetry Montane Persistence by Ciaran Burke Enduring the seasons light passes into dark submitting to winter elongation comfort of long nights Under blankets of crystals roots in rain soaked peat encouraged by vernal radiation seeking growth in the light Survival in the exposure winds fed by Atlantic rage rains like hell from heavens twisted existence resolute Insignificant beside the trail that leads curious minds to seek meaning from megalithic constructions Each limb a monument a testament of contortion hardened with determined will of a natural survivor Through the dark wood life grows concentric emerging in leafy greens celebrating with blooms Montane life of persistence demure beauty twisted by reality survival the life sentence .Ciaran Burke
