</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">In little bars & small cafe's I sit </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">to sort out what is real & what isn’t<br />
Two hours to give it all & hit that high </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">& 22 that’s left to occupy.<br />
I do remember you, you touched my soul. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">To fill me with a love to make me whole.<br />
Love’s the only gift what will remain </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">endeavours of the mind are all in vain.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">It’s a long, long way from here to yonder </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">whatever makes it so I often wonder.<br />
I recall an orchard in another time </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">the world was young & everything was fine. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
I struggle to return to that orchard </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">& I wonder was it ever there at all</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Returning like a child to the orchard </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">to celebrate a time before the fall……<br />
In moving trains I go within a world </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">that does’nt even know.<br />
<br />
Life is a process not just some event, </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">the planet is’nt ours it’s only lent.<br />
These days I’m sold on hanging onto now </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">and questions need less answers when you bow<br />
Sometime I do ask, why and thats a truth </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">and long for the orchards of lost <br />

<br />
<br />
MAGIC<br />
<br />
subdued light falls gently<br />
upon your manuscripts,<br />
you sit below the window<br />
with the pages of your story<br />
scattered as you shape<br />
and cut a truth, your truth.<br />
<br />
The children are asleep<br />
you sit silent smoking<br />
a roll your own cigarette,<br />
you can almost hear it<br />
the river that runs through<br />
the council estate, the cities<br />
the countries,the pure water. <br />
<br />
Outside stationary cars rusting<br />
empty streets, a wind growing<br />
stronger you lift your pen<br />
and begin to write.adrian-empathy.blogspot.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09112193913257604509noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7023357922770529927.post-14877449572916475962011-06-21T03:04:00.000-07:002011-06-21T03:04:17.751-07:00<div class="GBThreadMessageRow_Info" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 4px;"><span bindpoint="authorLinkWrapper" class="GBThreadMessageRow_AuthorLink_Wrapper" style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold;"><a class="GBThreadMessageRow_AuthorLink" href="http://www.facebook.com/greagoir.macgiollafhinnein" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">Gréagóir Mac Giolla Fhinnein</a> </span><span class="GBThreadMessageRow_Date" style="color: #777777; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 4px;">June 12 at 9:44pm </span><span bindpoint="branchLinkWrapper" class="GBThreadMessageRow_BranchLink"></span><span bindpoint="reportLinkWrapper" class="GBThreadMessageRow_ReportLink" style="color: #777777; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 4px;"><a class="action" href="http://www.facebook.com/ajax/report.php?content_type=9&cid=1381123424692&rid=100000272181388&cid2=4&cid3=1&h=Afj08_cUJJn8URvr" rel="dialog" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">Report</a></span></div><div class="GBThreadMessageRow_Body" style="color: #333333; float: left; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; width: 400px;"><div class="GBThreadMessageRow_Body_Content">The Hunter and The King<br />
<br />
Footsteps deftly stalk this Ancient Woodland,<br />
Eyes to the ground,<br />
Ears cocked for any sound.<br />
Cautiously you move, searching your prey,<br />
Trees rustling in the wind,<br />
Whisper to you “This Way”.<br />
Slight sound to your left,<br />
A brittle twig cracks,<br />
Crouched and ready, stopped in your tracks.<br />
A shadow moves, from where the sound came,<br />
You raise your bow slowly, ready to take aim.<br />
In a clearing in the Forest with mist hanging low.<br />
A Majestic creature appears in sight of your bow.<br />
Circling this clearing, the Great Stag tread,<br />
A Royal crown of Antler upon his head.<br />
Then suddenly turned and stared me down,<br />
Let loose a bellow, Antlers to the ground.<br />
Then stood in silence, peering back at the Wood,<br />
I lowered my bow, fully understood.<br />
For out of the shadows, another did appear,<br />
The Forest King's Consort, 'twas for Her, he did fear.<br />
Then the Stag turned again and looked my way,<br />
I saw the thanks in his eyes for sparing him this day.<br />
So I bowed my head in mutual respect,<br />
And turned to the Woods, not looking back.</div></div>adrian-empathy.blogspot.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09112193913257604509noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7023357922770529927.post-19730179288087052242011-06-12T13:59:00.000-07:002011-06-12T14:04:04.285-07:00<div class="GBThreadMessageRow_Info" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 4px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><b><br />

</div>Born of Water<br />
<br />
I live and breathe the Waters of Life,<br />
I know no other World, as I cradle in<br />
The liquid nest of my Mother’s Womb.<br />
Then sudden and abruptly my World is<br />
Swept from under me, my Ocean of comfort<br />
Gone, I am Born, crying, into a strange World.<br />
With tears in my eyes, remnants of my familiar<br />
Place, I gaze into the eyes of Giants, making<br />
Watery sounds with their voices, Primitive,<br />
Though soothing to my ears, I feel their<br />
Welcome, and I smile.<br />
<br />
These two will teach me of this new place,<br />
Though part of me, will always thirst,<br />
To swim the old shore, to plunge into<br />
The depths of my World once more.<br />
