Reilly Poems

Good Morning

Morning 

Under the early morning starry night skies
A little red robin fluttered by
She came a little closer to me 
Bathing  in the peace of love ,
Under the moon of tranquility.

Under  the early morning starry night skies
We both listened to the chorus of our nature’s canopy
 I glance towards my home 
A light autumn orange glows
In my village all are asleep
On Oaktrees silent street 

I wonder who knows 

The crow has heard the morning wake, 
The call on the wire that begins our day 
The crow has heard the morning wake and cracks it’s call,  
To let me know , 
All is  okay, and peace shall reign 
Again and again 
The sun rises 

Today

Good Morning ‘ I say ‘

The Life Of Riley

Another little bundle of joy
Born today, a baby boy
Riley Beau is so pure and sweet,
His innocence made our hearts beat
Thankful for his safe arrival
And our Granddaughter's survival
All our faces looked content and smiley
As we had all witnessed, the beginning of
THE LIFE OF REILLY

Bee Kind

Dear Friend 

Save our friends 
Our bees 
Our natural medicine 

Save our friends 
Our bees
Sign the Green Peace Petition 
Please 
Without our bees no colour to be seen
Without our bees no more poetry no more dreams
Without our bees nature's gift
Her melody
There'll be no you or me...

Dust to dust
Ashes to ashes to ashes 
Our earth will become 
Mother Earth no longer our mum 

Here

 I am here buzzing in your ear   

 ' Please stop this sleeping disease,'

waggle waggle 

 'wake up wake up" 

waggle waggle 

' take action please  ' 

waggle waggle 

'roll up roll up your sleeves'

waggle waggle 

 'put your name to the Green Peace Petition ...

waggle waggle 

Bee The Reason Someone Smiles Today ' ...

Sincerely 

Daisy Reilly

Footprint

Footprint 

A spiritual canvas written from the heavens the painting of an empath the poetry and verse , the  narrative , the reality of a child caught up in conflict, the view from her beautiful eyes, a war given birth , conquer and division,  opposition and  politicians.    

We hoped to see a glimmer of hope The love , the realisation , an awakening Lost souls cheer with bravo , raisng a grape and fine wine, flashing its flag and pride upon my bones Above my soul my name on the headstone I am a child and saw the Sun Here I am in the arms of Christ looking down Upon my home I see Lost souls cheer with bravo, raising a grape and fine wine Flashing its flag and pride upon my bones Above my soul my name on the headstone..

Serengeti

The night 
        African 
             Wild
On the Serengeti plains 
              A pride of lions 
Hunting under the cover 
                    Of darkness 
         Their keen senses 
    Heightened and alert 
And with excellent night vision 
          The lions infiltrate
     A herd of wildebeest 
Huddled together against the night 
            Against the lions 
Against the ripping claws 
          And piercing teeth 
And isolate a young calf
That becomes easy prey 
For the hungry lions, 
The night 
        African 
             Wild
On the Serengeti plains...

Poisonous Ideologies

Stalin cared nothing for his people 
Mao Zedong was likewise 
Cruel and brutal tyrants 
Who slaughtered millions of their own people. 

And now let those who espouse the ideals 
Of communism, marxism, socialism and globalism
Learn the truth from the blood soaked landscape 
Of the twentieth century 
And listen to the haunting cries 
Of countless millions who have died...

Laughter

He impregnated the silence 
       With laughter 
       Simple, effusive 
Loud and contagious laughter.

Time

Should time eradicate all my fears and doubts 
The painful memories of my troubled past 
The cruel and biting words from unfriendly mouths 
And grant inner peace and contentment at last, 
Should time with a kind and generous hand 
Grant fortune and favour among friends and family 
Health and happiness and prosperity in the land 
And thereafter the rewards of heaven for all eternity, 
But time is not a kind and caring father 
Subject to the whims and desires of man
It does not create or sustain the natural order 
Although bound to the will of his divine plan,
   No, time is an ever changing moment that swiftly passes 
   In which we count all our gains and all our losses.

Hell

Condemned to a place of darkness 
Beneath the molten surface of the earth 
Full of wailing screams and cries, utter distress 
Of wretched souls tormented by the second death, 
Conscious of all that led them here
To this dreadful place 
The sin, the pride, the anger and fear
The greed, the lies, the shame and disgrace, 
And with no hope of ever escaping 
The righteous and solemn judgements 
Of Christ our Lord and King
The poor wretched soul that never repents,
   This divine truth the scriptures plainly tell 
   The path we follow leads either to heaven or to hell.

To Shakespeare

Was his spirit destined to write 
The great poet crafting his verse 
Words of beauty and profound insight 
That time and posterity should rehearse, 
Was it the power of his imagination 
Creating drama, intrigue, murder and revenge 
And whatever vices lead to condemnation 
In the wayward hearts of mortal men,
No, not this or anything else 
But that God ordained spirit 
That creates of itself 
Things divine, mysterious, dark and nondescript, 
   Endowed with gifts from heaven above 
   His timeless art of life and love.

Biology

It's a scientific fact 
That biology is an empirical source of truth 
And no amount of ideological attacks 
Will ever change that.

Distant Longing

Have all the water fountains run dry
Is the land desolate forever 
And what of that great city Jerusalem 
Mount Zion, the habitation of our God.

Visitation

I don't remember if the invitation 
Came late at night or early in the morning, 
If I arrived by carriage 
Or if I made my way on foot 
To the palace entrance, 
If the royal guards escorted me inside or not, 
This I do not know. 
All I remember is standing before the King 
And listening to his furious words of condemnation, 
Words that weighed heavily on the hearts and minds
Of everyone present, 
Words that I dare not repeat outside the palace walls. 
Yes, I was there 
And I heard the King speak.

             28/3/22. Partly inspired by Revelation 16: 1-2 kjv.

Said Before

Said before 
Wasted words 
Nothing more 
Alone now 
In the silence 
In the darkness 
Nightfall 
Day's end
Life's end 
Consigned to the grave 
Said before 
Wasted words 
Nothing more

Death Is a Monster

Death is a monster 
With a thousand arms 
A thousand legs 
A million eyes 
A huge cavernous mouth 
Filled with black broken teeth,
Death is a monster.
