The Happening Poem by Liam ó Comáin

(Easter, April,1990.)

Eucharistic Adoration
Kneeling and bowing
While closing ones eyes
In the Church of St. James
At Medugorje

An internal experience
Of a living reality
A mantle flowing from
The figure of a woman
Floating above a field

Opening ones eyes
Prior to closing
Yet the person was there
Slowly disappearing above
The colourful landscape

A figment of the imagination-
Or what? - I don’t know…
But I wonder was it you Mary
Was it your mantle blowing in
The breeze within my being?
