Tuatha de Danann Dreaming
Tuatha de Danann Dreaming
(A lone Irish voice whispers into the night, as a single white candle burns. Looking at a picture of a beautiful woman)
With time-worn
But stubborn like a six-inch
Jerusalem thorn
Dreaming
Forlorn
Tonight
Of Halcyon Nights
With you, my love
When memories waterwheels slowly turn,
And midnight candles burn
As my inner film projectors play
I also remember our beloved Halcyon Days, at the coast
Spent walking and laughing
Before God moved our goal posts
So tonight, I'm praying and yearning for moments
Only The Tuatha de Danann can invoke
Pulling back
My true love
Before I choke
To help me cope
From Hades
Swirling
Grey smoke

The Tuatha Dé Danann are described as a supernatural race, much like idealized humans, who are immune from ageing and sickness, and who have powers of magic.
