Faireadh
[Act of Keeping Watch]

Sensibilities awake, pray, keep watch!
Untamed oceans swiftly switch their ancient moods.

Watch for descendents of Saint Brendan’s whale
unconfirmed sightings of isles and shoals.

In Crìost, discern their transmuted form in prayer,
voyage overcoming leviathans of fear.
