Amid the chaos of the day
Amid the chaos of the day
Life around is being swept away
A moment can become a lifetime
Each breath I take has to rhyme
Like this yellow flower sitting beside me
I need Gods Hand to guide me
BULLFINCH
This beautiful and most colourful finch has a nest at the Knox, beside the Canal. I was struck by his beauty and wrote this poem to celebrate
I SAW A BULLFINCH TODAY
AN AWESOME BIRD WITH NOTHING TO SAY
BEAUTIFUL BIRD BUT HE CANNOT SING
EVAN WHEN EVERY BRANCH BURSTIS LIT WITH SPRING
HIS BEAUTY MADE ME FREEZE AT THE SPOT
AND SPEAK I DARE NOT
HIS MAGIC THREW A SPELL ON ME TO STAND
I WAS LOOKING AT THE COLOURS OF GODS HAND
Sacrifice v Love
TOO MUCH OF A SACRIFICE MAKES A STONE OUT OF THE HEART
William Butler Yeats
TOO MUCH LOVE MAKES A HEART OUT OF A STONE
Timmy Conway
I stand here
I stand here
Anchored under a chestnut tree
Beautiful leaves of autumn
Blossomed by the goldfinch
Here I can comprehend eternity
A horse frozen in the field
A gull chased by crows
A squirrel dancing on a branch
The scent of the usual
Waiting for the sun
I reimburse my vision of contentment
I am here
Where I want to be.
And everything is going back even these beauties
And everything is going back even these beauties
yet the green still remains
yet the green still remains
And will outdo
The gorgeous pink
That was once so admired
Is now a pitiful sight
