MAVOURNEEN MY LOVE
Mavourneen (My Love)
You have left the boundaries of this troubled place
Clouds move and divide for you, to fly, to wheel and soar,
Up and on past a sunlit, uninterrupted sanctity
You turn your eyes just once, to blow a kiss,
to those you loved and miss.
Higher than an eagle, only angels in gilded bodice
and spread wings have flown to that space,
you glide and follow seraphim through invisible
corridors of a summer wind dip and hover and ascend
on stepless mountains of colourless air.
Into a darken celestial divine, lighted by galaxies
and dancing stars, with familiar faces,
smile and wave to you, kaleidoscope of colours never
seen, behind a curtained gauze,
in endless hues of verdant green and blue.
Breathless anticipation of a welcome unknown, a silence
never heard, a noiseless flight, a forever grace
weighed with a heart unclear, those sparkling eyes that fill
for those you left behind, the remembrance of a wounded you.
Your name received and celebrated to enter that solace
spirit unbroken, only seconds divided in time
into our dreams stilled, startled and unspoken, hide a
carpet of lies, that awful day, that awful crime.
Hurt no more, my love, you are safe in God's loving
sweet embrace and remembered love and kisses.
