DOES IT MATTER

At the most basic level of existence, matter is nothing other than a field of potential and possibilities

Where ever you focus your attention, where ever you put your energies, that is what will grow.
There are no limitations to the mind and body except those that you choose to accept.

FROM FAMINE TO FEAST

This island green from sea to ocean
Beyond the pale in perpetual motion
Is free embodied yet in disguise
The white boys hide behind blacked out eyes


Where potato crops failed then rain offered blight
No sympathy of others as more died each night
In famine starvation yet still in ignorance
Now standing on the cusp of pure providence


The golfing the yachting all objects of wealth
Are traded exchanged for poor literary health
From O’Casey to Yeats from Collins to Russell
The Celtic tiger once more flexed her muscle


Now feasting on the beast of capitalism
Without concepts of that future vision
It’s lost like all the other sheep of this union
Beyond compare and in confusion


This Emerald jewel from crag to mountain
The other worlds door through natures fountain
Is flowing freely but in disregard
For the poorest ones when the days get hard


This notion this dream from Howth to Sneem
The offering up of our thickest cream
In hope or desperation then resignation
The rising from the ashes of the new Irish Nation

AHAUN

The fairies glance beside gushing water
Down the hillside towards the Feale
The Clurachauns sing as undines dance
Making the setting so surreal

In north Kerry by this mountainside
A deosil dance round sacred well
The minstrels the poets the weavers
Casting their enchanting spell

To the pagan chieftain with serpent sword
Remember his heritage past
In the bulrushes by the little ford
To the Shannon flowing fast

In mythological mysticism
A long way we go back
Over these black bleak mountains
Upon seldom travelled track

Of good people or of Fianna
The lover of the hound
Evoking natures elements
To reach from surf to sound

Our fire is low as dawn awakes
A solstice sun does shine
Upon lucky spirits standing here
Through the centuries of time

HUMAN DREAMS

Together we are invincible
Of relevance to earth and sky
Through undying living principle
Applicable to you and I

In nature children marvel
At sacred presence in flowing stream
In memories we unravel
The collective human dream
