Quiescence

Dark clay breeds seeds of discontent, Broken cries fills eyes of swollen red, The field of dreams beyond my reach, My world of words the elected dead. It's time to unwalk this clouded dream, The rich clay within has taken flight, As tears of tasted blood drain the heart, To purge the earth and source the light. Fallowed fields wait the dawn to start, To cultivate the soil, to nurture seed, Deep within our Mother Nature's heart, And nourish the clays quiescent needs. Go raibh mi agat agus slán go fóill. Happy Saint Patrick's Day .

I understand your need for a break from poetry for awhile. You're presence and poetry will be missed; I look forward to your return whenever the time is right for you. All my best, Sara

This poem is awesome. I suspect the foreign tongue to be Irish. A Happy St. Patrick's Day to you also.

Beautiful rhyme poetry Daniel. Have you checked out fellow Irish poet Liam McDaid? He's kind of a quiet fellow, but I think you'd really like his poetry. Check him out!
