Lone ampitheatre! Grey Coliseum! Type of the antique Rome! Rich reliquary Of lofty contemplation left to Time By buried centuries of pomp and power! At length, at length — after so many days Of weary pilgrimage, and burning thirst, (Thirst for the springs of love [lore] that in thee lie,) I kneel, an altered, and an humble man, Amid thy shadows, and so drink within My very soul thy grandeur, gloom, and glory. Vastness! and Age! and Memories of Eld! Silence and Desolation! and dim Night! Gaunt vestibules! and phantom-peopled aisles! I feel ye now: I feel ye in your strength! O spells more sure then [than] e’er Judæan king Taught in the gardens of Gethsemane! O charms more potent than the rapt Chaldee Ever drew down from out the quiet stars! Here, where a hero fell, a column falls: Here, where the mimic eagle glared in gold, A midnight vigil holds the swarthy bat: Here, where the dames of Rome their yellow hair Wav’d to the wind, now wave the reed and thistle: Here, where on ivory couch...

Country roads around counties Carlow and Kilkenny borders, We are the last of the memory hoarders, Love divine is on its rightful pedestal, Seeking the lure of comfort and mystique, The draw of the unknown, unforgiven, Undying gesture of our heart, Everytime we met we searched in the mindfields, Of the regrets of our past. Romance was your reason for your energetic, foot perfect dance, Pearly beads shining on your high forehead, Which you would wipe, with a large handkerchief hastily away. Then driving through the darkness, That trips up the light of day, Stars beckoning you to the imaginary world of ghosts, 'What happens to us when were gone? ' 'Are we like letters that get lost in the post? ' You seemed to think I had more knowledge than most! You were always on the run from the magnetic sun, As you displayed your charm, wit, when having plenty of fun, Your warmth held an icy warning, just beneath the surface, Your own way, at your own pace, As you chased your elusive dream, Marraige was a trophy, a success complete, But all you felt was the lonesome ache of defeat. You admired having the best, Like your only team the Kilkenny hurlers, They were above the less talented rest. Many friends were found in Alcoholics Anonymous, They became part of your extended family, Home was been with them facng the truth. You cherished the roots that made you so proud, You were the performer in the crowd. When I heard the shocking news that you had passed away, My open wound was on display, I understood your complex nature, Your fight within your competitive need to endure, A childlike essence was part of your powerful presence, Now your not...

How I love my little garden, where I sit and contemplate. My perfect piece of paradise inside my garden gate. Hanging baskets, pretty pots, the flowers are brimming over. The grass so green, the buttercups, the daisies, and the clover. Honeysuckle and jasmine giving off its sweet perfume. Pretty lilies open wide, rose bushes in full bloom. In summer they stand tall and proud as the buds turn into flowers. I sit and watch as they all flourish and while away the hours. I see the little fledglings nesting high up in the trees. Bees in and out the bushes with their variegated leaves, Where they gather all the pollen, then soar into the sky. They're heading home at speed, returning to the hive. The melody of the wind chimes as they tinkle in the breeze Interwoven with gossamer cobwebs, at night the spider weaves. The sunshine sparkles on the pond where the water lilies grow. Golden fish and tadpoles swimming safely down below. It's all so very peaceful relaxing in the sun Where the butterflies flutter by having so much fun. The sun goes down and darkness falls, the moon is big and bold, Where all that live in the garden have a story to be told. The little gnomes are watching the pixies and the sprites Dancing by the wishing well, aglow with fairy lights...
