Dark sound raven makes,
Chortles top fir tree, haunting—
Druids incantation.

Frogs— suddenly dive,
Blocks of flesh crane to the sky,
Heron holds head high.

Wildfowl flocks skein,
Turning arrows to heavens',
Eternal southern skies.

Mirror on the wall
why do you take so much from me
for today you make me look old
so I have nothing to see
every morning ~I feel pressure on my eyes
So ~~~~Mirror
nothing to see
and any question you ask here
there will be nothing to find
Mirror will you marry me
I am what
I am
Nothing to see.

Today
looking at the sky
I knew it would rain
on me

you left me last night
thinking what did i do wrong?
so now this is my song
each and every time it rains.

Today
looking at the sky
I knew it would rain
on me.

Seán Mac Falls
Above, this morning, on another plain
Over bogland and tundra rising snows drift
Darting birds white, unlike you, they strain
Fleeing on wing to save some earthen kin.
Blood runs as they race, your shadows cast,
Their hearts beating to some distant dawn.
Under the pale sun, white burns on their backs,
Daylight sings, their ears are horned, little faun
White as snow, the prince of the sky is blessed
On high by drops of rain, and dusted freeze,
Then blood and breast sacrament and eucharist,
Their tale ends in glory, risen as a breeze.

November leaves falling—
Blood red backs, salmon cresting,
Eagles rake cold lake.

Seán Mac Falls
Greatest eagle, black and white,
Tell me how to reach the skies—
Wander with wind into the night,
Are you lost like me when you fly?
I see you marking the flaming sun
And want to follow your windy path,
Rising after moon, majestic one—
What trials of life in your aftermath?

I fill the bird bath,
Then splashes, wings, songbirds play,
Joy to fill again.

Seán Mac Falls
Showers of promise punctuate your days,
The waters creek, mumble rise and swell,
Flowers, spark of youth, marching in the rains
And birds sing anew, bright pages, bursting-bell,
An earthy coronation, cleanse and glisten,
All the wood, shorn by Winters’ wane and fan,
*** and waltz in balmy breeze collecting
Ferns and Falls' forgotten blood red hands
Renewed, the grass and trees, heavens missal,
Wing-lipped leaves exploding green, just listen;
The washing rains parade, all resurrection.

Butterflies clap wings,
Orange poppies splay in wind,
  .  .  .  Ovations to the sun.

The day is at it's darkest just before the dawn
but knowing that I am still on my own

Just on my own again
Even though I have tried to fill your heart
I have this morning, the sad man blues

Thinking back you gave nothing at all
unless woman, maybe a desire not to be like you

Just on my own again
Even though I have tried to fill your heart
I have this morning, the sad man blues

Woman I thought your love was true
and now my blues have there back to blue

Just on my own again
Even though I have tried to fill your heart
I have this morning, the sad man blues

And woman to see you
walk from that night club, with someone else

Just on my own again
Even though I have tried to fill your heart
I have this morning, the sad man blues

But at last woman I know
I am on my way back home this night

Ow sad SAD MAN BLUES
on my own again.
Maybe a song on it's way ---  PAul

Feathered arrows flung—
Geese search for fertile grasslands,
  .  .  .  Deltas in the sky.
