Poems

Leo Bermingham Nov 2015
Time is tide oar is life.this oar is yours it's yours for life so grasp it whit vigour and settle your site's when the sea rises up it may buckle and bend but hang on to that oar that oar is your friend time is tide it comes in waves and waves that's when you'll need that oar to break the days time is tide it flows and flows your oar is that friend that nobody knows i know that your oar groans under the stress but hang on to that oar that oar is the best and when the seas become clam and your left in its wake have a look at that oar and what it did take don't ponder to long there's things to be done paddle my friend head for the sun

The Oarsman (song)
Noel Apr 2015
Where do we go as the oar man rows?
I see no light down this stream we flow.
Where do we go as the oar man rows?
In these crossroads I just don't know.

Do you know my dear mother?
Can you hear me, oh father?

Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go as the oar man rows?

Are there Angels?
Are there Demons?
what am I now?

I am frightened
of the darkness
of the oarsman.

Where do we go as the oar man rows?
Do we just die or do we have souls?
Where do we go as the oar man rows?
Down this dark stream I've come to know.

Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go as the oar man rows?
There is a dark melody that accompanies this song. It is about a boy who has died, he is trapped in the crossroads between death and whatever lies beyond it alongside the oarsman who continually rows into the darkness.
