Bryn Celli Ddu
An Englyn Byr Cwca Inspired By A Beautiful Work By Angie Livingstone, The Glittering Fox
Introduction
This is my ninety-sixth piece inspired by Angie Livingstone's inspirational artwork.
Bryn Celli Ddu is a chambered burial chamber in Anglesey, Wales. Its name means 'the mound in the dark grove'.
This is An Englyn Byr Cwca. Although the tercet is defined, for this I have written five tercets.
"The Art Of The Glittering Fox" is now available on Amazon worldwide.
Here is The Glittering Fox's Facebook Page

The music is "The Wise Man's Song" (Theme from "Small Prophets") by Cinder Well

I really like this, Mike <3 Beautifully done
πΌThis piece is truly divine; it serves as a haunting tribute to those resting within the tomb. With every line, I can hear the rising and falling cadence of a deep sleep from below. Your choice of the Welsh Bryn Celli Ddu over the English translation was masterful; the English meaning could never have stirred such goosebumps. There is a beautiful flutter in the wind here, leaving a sweet assonance in its wake.
