The Ardagh Chalice
By Aoibhín McGlone, 2nd Year.
I am silver.
A gleaming, shiny clean silver
that has been restored.
I am ancient.
I have existed for a thousand years
and will cease to die.
I am beautiful.
My precious gems still glitter brightly,
my abstraction is entrancing.
I am intricate.
Delicate intertwined gold lies on my body.
It is the work of filigree.
I am historical.
Beneath my exterior lies
stories and tales of my creators.
I am intact.
I have been perfectly preserved
in all the years that have passed.
And I will remain forever,
as I am too memorable to be forgotten.
I am the Ardagh Chalice.
