Sun~

Following the sun

coming undone

numb

find the light

hold on tight

rest weary one

the day is done

repeat

retreat

shine on

ride on

carry on

the light

the night

second sight

always fight

too bright

tears shine

sun shine

blood shines

another day

another way

following the sun

until I’m done…

Eire~

My heart stands in a

faraway land…

Where the air carries the

scent of roses

and the water

tastes sweet.

My soul longs to come home

to the place I belong…

My ancestors left

the land

but the land

never left them…

I dream of this green land

and long for its

embrace~

a place of history and mystery,

poets and song~

My spirit cries to return

in life

but if I shouldn’t

make it

spread my ashes

where the

mountains meet the sea,

somewhere between

Benbulbin and the Slieve~

so that my spirit dances

with the ancestors

for eternity…

Remember

my dear children

your Irish blood

will always run

free…

Shine…

In your hour

of loneliness

In a time

of pain

In those moments

of regret

drowning in tears

broken.

Remember

in time

loneliness passes

pain eases

regret melts

tears dry

We get up

again,

another day

to

Shine…
