Father Drinan

Close Encounter

Just this morning, on my walk,
When a bird of prey came swooping down -

I saw feathers and a face
And it could ha...

Lake of Blue

Hello, person.
My person, who bathes and drifts in the steaming lake of blue
And chirps a melody of solitude
While strumming the oak guitar for the blaze.

warn us, by his airs?
Fewer by day...more by

 Golden sun shimmers on waves as they dance some more
 Now and then seagulls take a ride
 Whispers of sunset amid the roar

This full owl body carved from the light
Of wood
With its slimly painted feathers and howling eyes 

Held in swooping flight
At an angle
On a string
From...

Aerial Acrobats

They made me dizzy, with the patterns they made in swirling circles going around and arou...

Swoop

Swoop


With steel wings
merging places
Swooping
stealing phases
licking faith
creating darkness
where the wise and foolish
go to sleep
Shaping fate
Crushing hopes
of the fickle minded...

Hallowed Be Thy Name

...Underneath the blue-black twilight
of an impending, grim, nightmarish sky,
I hear the ping of deathly bells ringing,
signaling that my end is nigh.

Buzzards circle above,
swooping down, playin...

Echoes of the Silent Shore

...Level sands stretched beyond the range of vision
Sluggish blue waters touching the grey seaboard
Waves crashing on rocks with a lingering sound
The surging waves erasing footprints like wipers

A Day Dream

...Laid out in hot sunshine I drift away
starting to day dream of magical places
I run through sun dappled forests
and come across some unicorns.

They greet me like an old friend
one offers  me a...

In the Days of Milk and Honey
