There's a good chance of it coming up and we never got any notes on it!

Da mb'fheidir aris dar gcumann

Oh the loneliness, the vacuum -
that she doesn't ever see
him, who was the heart-centre (the very centre) of her life.

Long years went by without a syllable out of her
without a tear. She that is brittle, withered, hard.
Outsider in her desert, in her nothingness.

Then one of those days in the Autumn
in depression, walking aimlessly through the valley
when, like a flash of lightning, she saw
resurrection of Autumn, an outburst of re-growth
as if the buds would prosper again as in spring
As if there was a re-birth for them

And a rush of the energy of miracles went through her
she lowered herself
on a mound of moss
as if it is the source of rushes of panic/excitement
and she wept copiously
the load of her brittleness

On returning to her cottage room
she bent over writing a letter
to the man in the soil and said
"O my love forever,
if we had the chance to re-live/recreate our relationship..."

And she continued like that
writing, writing a difficult story
the love that filled emptiness
and she met with her co-people again.
