Padraig's Fire
Hurry!
Hurry through the night
With windstorms
Breathing at your back
Before the shadows know
You pass their doors -
Their darkened, dusty, empty hearths -
Before the dawn ascends -
Before the pipes awaken;
Carry close
Precious flint and tinder
Next to the wildly...

Every ligament burning
Pain flooding nerve endings

Heavy panting of breath
Heart pumping trying to keep up
Behind the canopy of human perception

On her knees pushing
Two women holding her

VI

He carried but his needed load
And made himself as useful
As he could along the road.

Trapped between two floors, maybe heaven and hell,
were souls that screamed through elevator doors.
Our feet in blood, we asked who was the devil
among us. Strangers died and out of fear
were souls...

O Moon of My Memory
O Moon of My Memory
O new moon of my day-time sky
Reflection of earthshine

Vague images floating
Reminding of days gone by
O waxing moon of my memory
Graceful and slender
Teasing and flirting
Uncertain faces
Shadows are being
Pushed...

Shamrock Reflections
Roads rising up from Irish mists in merry jigs
To the flowing tenor song
Sung by the River Boyne born from Tara's Keep
As Patrick's paschal fire
Weaves truth from stones of blarney
And lucky charms of Erin's spring
Cloth hills...

Your Greatness
Your Greatness
I met Greatness walking down the street.
It walks with a swagger without a beat.
It's Greatness walking in total universal peace.
Greatness has been here, Greatness has done.

Beautiful Grace
Grace, God’s pleasure,
is His treasure,
in bold measure
beautiful grace.
Christ bore the dross
of worldly loss
upon His cross.
He took our place.
Accused of sham
the great I Am
our paschal Lamb
in love’s embrace.
When people grope
He is our hope,

Scathing sheaves of love diverge endlessly,
O, yet I propound to despair of simplicity,
While watching the loving dances to jive,
Beneath dew resolute to heartbreak survive.
I climb above wintry storms into the Pagan realms,
Holding the torches of...
