The Dark Night Of The Soul
When we are in the dark night of the soul,
We gasp and flounder within this hole
Of mire and darkness, with no light,
But hark, look up and see the sight,
Of smiling angel faces true.
Holding hands and beckoning you,
To rise above the darkness tight,
Fly and flow, into the light.
Once more to find our love's true end,
As thro' Universe, our footsteps wend.

Grandmother
Grandmother, oh Grandmother
Looking from above.
I need your wisdom and your balance.
Most of all I need your love.
I hear you and I see you,
When I open my mind's eye.
I feel you wrapped around me,
In the space where I am "I".
Your kindness and your knowledge,
I need within me now,

Irish Air
Over the Wicklow mountains,
Where the air is pure as can be.
Over the hills and moor lands,
The waterfalls to see.
Spectacular the waters fall
Between the crevices deep,
To splash on rocks and boulders,
Down the mighty mountains steep.
The peat bogs on the moor land,
For fires to warm are toiled.
The men and women working.
Their clothes and hands are soiled.
But ‘tis worth the toil and strife
To see the Wicklow mountains dear.
To know the joy of being in Erin,
Where the air is crisp and clear.
You can keep your city factories,
And your office blocks so tall.
For to live and work in Ireland,
Is to know you have it all.

Phantom Of The Night
Who are you, Phantom of the night?
Creeping into my soul, just out of sight,
Of pain and light, and waking to heavy hold of life,
So clean and bright, a love so right,
Divine, I feel complete within the circle of your arms,
Away from worldly charms,
Those shallow empty feelings doing harm,
I feel only that love which is real, unconditional,
And the place I want to be forever,
I wish to leave you never,

Perseverance
You taught me Dad, from when so young,
To always persevere.
If at first you don't succeed
You'd murmur in my ear.
Don't give up you always said.
There's no such word as can't.
So never wilt, just try again,
And never say "I shan't".
For it's worth so much that glittering prize.
Worth the best that you can do.
Sometimes you feel you'll triumph not,
But you will, for I know you!
So Dad I simply want to say
That persevere I do,
And when I feel like giving up,
My thoughts they wing to you.
You taught me long, and I learnt hard,
That if I want to succeed,
I must simply do whatever it takes,
To complete that word or deed.

Vicar's Coming To Tea
Eh?
What's that you said?
Oh dearie me,
You told me the vicar's coming to tea.
What shall I wear, what shall we eat?
I'll have to go shopping down the village street.
What shall we say to him?
Think on it do!
He's more intellectual
Than me and than you.
Though wait just a moment,
I'm giving some thought
As to why we lament,
Just as if we know nought.
For we are all different.
Thank goodness for that!
Don't let's be diffident,
Or feel we are prats.
All humans have something
To offer you see.

The Pirate Queen
We fought them on the Spanish Main,
With flashing sword and gun.
A bright and colourful picture we,
As we made those rascals run.
We were the pirates brave and true.
We fought our battles bold.
I still see us stood upon the deck,
With our bodies flashing gold.
I loved you then as I love you now.
The people marvelled so.
'She's a woman' went the whispers.
'How could they make her go? '
But 'they' didn't make me, no one did.
I stood beside my man.
As I've stood beside you lifetimes since,
Then we've slept upon the sand.
It's still the case this lifetime.
I'm always here for you.
Whatever you have said or done,
You're still my pirate true.

Ocean Breezes
Ocean breezes, bringing the sweet scents of faraway exotic places,
Whose energies are borne on the winds of passion,
Who fly on the tumultuous thermals, and soar into Eternity and
Back, for there are no boundaries of dimension, no discernment,
Save that of the will to be or to be not.
There are no limits and no rules, save those of committing no
Wrong against another living being, for which the ultimate
Karma is not death, for how could it be, when the final test is here on
The physical life plains, from which all our learning comes, giving
Us the guide lines for riding the ocean breezes, as and when and
How we will, and the freedom to know this?

Gypsy Fires
Gypsy fires burning bright.
Flames leaping higher in the night,
And Gypsies dancing hand in hand,
The free est people in the land.
Their sparkling eyes and rings of gold,
Mesmerising villagers who behold,
The flashing smiles and pearly teeth,
Showing jewelled qualities beneath.
No people kinder or more loyal.
Simple folk linked to the soil,

My Precious Great Granddaughter
I mourn for you for the light that is,
And the life that will never be.
For the baby girl so wanted and loved,
Will never sit on my knee.
I'll never teach her the wisdom beyond all earth,
To flow through her life with laughter.
I'll never show the wonders of life and Nature,
To my beautiful Great Granddaughter.
But all is not lost, for you are right here,
Flying in and out of all lives.
We link, we laugh and we have our own fun
Above and beyond hurt and strife.
Too evolved you are, for this heavy earth plain.
This fact I accept so true.
You fly the Heavens with joy so serene
Beyond rainbows' colourful hue
I Love You Cheyenne; Til we meet again xox
