[ when mum's just a word ]

 

Oh, mother!

to choose

insignificance

is the hardest

of choices

but what else

could I do

..

[ when mum's just a word ]

..

to honour your child

to find the mum

in my self

.

All this clarity

will cease

once I open doors

go out

and forget to love

and respect

the child you birthed

so I dress my self in dust

..

to become 

..

undifferentiated 

..

and dust

.

As I Step On Water And Stone


From where I once stood

at this sea of Galilee

remembering you

- my beloved -

I travelled the miles

to that one stone

the last rock in the sea

whispering to you

- my father -

a sea of words 

of thought 

of loving memory

slipping from my fingertips

into the fresh sweet 

and the salty waters

where life sprang

where a quest began

where mine will end

one final day near Clifden 

on that one last rock

I will stand overlooking

an Irish ocean

and I will softly smile

[ Intertwined ]

 

Intertwined

peaceful and calm

beginning of everything


He says one we're one

we seek no lordship

we just grant life 

as we transfer

the strength


Look in my mirror and do not see

look behind it and not find a thing


- well, perhaps just that, what is -


Opposite and Complementary

foundation for north to south

from the east to the west

for heaven and earth

or was it a hell

you chose

I forgot


- you decide what you make of it -
