Skellig

This is a sure sign that I'm
Nearing getting back to sleep
Just as the birds are waking up
Again.

I was listening to this song;
I'm not really sure why -
And it made me think of a book
That I still think about
Often.

As are many 'children's' books
It, too, is written primarily for
Folks like the author
Who have both child and adult
Within.

Sorry - no link...
But you can go to Amazon or wherever
And look up 'Skellig' by David Almond
Read a bit about it
And see if it tugs a bit...
Or not.

My students loved it
Once upon a time
Poetry in prose
Mystery, suspense, generous heartache
