Remembering Achill island where:
landscape so barren echoes with loneliness.
Remnants of harsh winter slowly receding,
leaving terrain behind burnt from elements.
Will spring bring a green renaissance?
High on cliffs inquisitive Peregrine Falcon,
sharp-eyed and watching ocean frenzy.
Arrogant bird of prey, with attitude,
indifferent to Achill's weather.
Sojourner birds will return with spring.
Glacial island's intriguing domain.
Atlantic storms forever sculpt prospect,
as bitter winter sun skims land playfully.
Creating elusive shapes and shadows,
like a kaleidoscope of mystery.
These impressions stay with me,
when returning to my concrete existence.
Instead of screeching soaring seabirds:
the endless roar of traffic.
Closing my eyes I remember.
Oh, old photograph that hangs
On the factory cafeteria wall,
Everyday enticing me to enter
Your era your environment
Minds to breach
To Reach into your inner feelings.
To focus upon you all standing
At your work benches and machines,
To probe your entrenched way of life,
Minds to breach
While wearing military expressions
Inanimated frozen within your time.
Where an image extracted without pain
Yet all gathered without a single smile.
Slaves to the mystical magical device
An invention for in time one does dwell,
Minds to breach
Waiting for the hooded photographer.

Powerful is, the imagination.
Allow me to give you a demonstration.
I was facing the west, when I saw the sun rise.
I was startled at first, and very surprised.
I found myself, on the ocean's shore.
Embracing the oceans, thunderous roar.
Deep blue seas, before my eyes.
Gave me reason, to feel alive.
With endless motion, of hypnotic seas,
I was blown away, with the oceans breeze.
Like music to my ears, or so it seemed.
Life is more, than just a dream.
I found myself, in the midst of peace.
As I watched the sun, set in the east.
