Rainbow's Story (segment)
A tale of the Marshland
Brigid:
A woman a spirit called Shadow
Throws the sunset colours into the sky
Silvery blue:
A woman called Marsh nods her golden grass head
In sunlight I walk her green edge softly back and forth
BrigID:
In the mountains–the two faces in profile
Blue and shaped craggy and soft
The man lies to the west, The AncestoR
The woman to the north, Rainbow
