Can You Help

a message

That said 

“Bridget’s

lost

her phone

and 

is trying

to get home”

Perhaps to

Ireland ?

THE DREAMER



Me, a dreamer content
swims between worlds
in fish like fantasy
a merman acrobatic
an agile inventor.
A roaming seeker of keys
that freely unlock senses
beyond boundaries, See ?


Together or Apart - We
in a conch shell shall be
Flies beneath blue waves
Dancing frogs in a bog, or
Merry toads on a road
perhaps birds stalking cats
In bright darkness alive
loving life and free to be.


We are: a pattern of raindrops
making bright rings in puddles,
Old times smoky wraiths, ghosts.
Lovers from a future time,
a breeze, a tease of warm scent.
An echo, footprints in snow.
We can be the old Oak tree
and stand strong proudly alone.

WINTER SOLSTICE 2015



    I am the darkness that surrounds the world, 
                       
        I am the cloak of mystery, around me all life flows. 
                           
 I am the deep, in me all planets float. 
                                         
I am mystery. 
                               
Out from me shines all light. 
                               
Without darkness there is nothing. 
                                           
  Today is my glory. 
                          
   Tonight I am the force that can deny light. 
                                       
Witness my power.

You Will Be Missed

Michael Hall  R.I.P.
5th August 1950 - 23rd November 2015

We who knew him,
Knew him not well;
Not as a husband,
Nor as a Father;
Or a Grandfather
We knew him not as those.

We knew him
As a Friend,
A Comrade,
A Stalwart,
A Republican,
A Generous Gentle Giant
With a warm ready smile.
Mick Hall
You will be missed.
