Tuath na Gaoithe - People of the Wind
Illustrated by Claire Morrissey and Ellen McHugh
Tá ár gcuid eiteog spréite san fhios. Faoi threoir san air, nil aon rud deacair sa tsaol ard seo. Seolann muid i bpatrúin dódhéanta, beo ar ár gcuid néaróg.
Fanann muid os cionn ar n-andúile, fios againn ar chad a d’fhéadfadh tarlú. Is Tuath na Gaoithe sinn, ár samhlú fein chun tosaigh. Seo mar átá ár Spoirid, geal agus ag athrú, choimhéad muid seo uilig cheana féin.
Tá ár gcuid scálaí glioscarnacha ag nigh thar uiscí. Éirionn muid ard sa spéir i gcúinas thar choillte ár seandachta.
Is Tuath na Gaoithe sinn. Tá an fios sin againn ar chad a tharla agus ní ligfidh muid chun dearmadta é.
Buailfidh muid buile in uair dár mian féin. Ní bheidh fógra tugtha roimh é.
Imeoidh muid as amharc isteach i gcúlstruthanna ar imeall an chaoráin, as radharc isteach i gKa - Boom na n-easaí
Bogfaidh muid agus athchrúthóidh muid; ár Spoirad ag tógáil gach aon rud atá Cineálta isteach sa tSolas.
Is Tuath na Gaoithe sinn - thig linn, mas mian linn, tabhairt ar an Dorchadas a theacht.
Our feathers are spread in Knowing. Guided by the air, nothing is too hard in this vertiginous world. We sail in impossible patterns, living on our nerves
We stay above your craving, knowing what could happen. We are People of the Wind, imagining ourselves onwards. Such is our Spirit, bright and changing, we have watched it all before
Our glistening shadows wash over the waters. We soar in silence over the woodland of our ancientness
We are People of the Wind. We know what happened and will not forget
We will strike at a time of our own choosing. We will give not a moment’s notice
We will vanish in eddies at the edge of marshes, disappear into the ka-boom of waterfalls
We will shift and re-form, our Spirit lifting all that is Kind into the Light
We are People of the Wind - we can bring Darkness if we like
