You Were the Ocean You were, before light And the Sea, the unchanging Sea I sink in this moment of self What course, what winds to follow The searcher, and only horizons No Islands, again Fires of heaven… shine me a warming shore… Erin’s welcome hidden And I regret not knowing it Or never touching you Yes never touching you But you touched me… More, more then you may know A fire rekindled, was almost spent Yes this voyage had moments and oh what moments… …could I but tell Still the water is calm the wind so smooth so warm and the only Port I seek eludes me this life Erin’s shore is far… far from the emerald Isle far from the fire pits The night, like the unchanging sea so faithful in its hollow torture The wind is a prankster like a jester bestowing uncertainty I wait enthralled, expecting the trick always searching always searching… James Parker Haley |

Great work Parker.... Love this kind of thing... "Still the water is calm the wind so smooth so warm and the only Port I seek eludes me this life Erin’s shore is far… far from the emerald Isle far from the fire pits The night, like the unchanging sea so faithful in its hollow torture The wind is a prankster like a jester bestowing uncertainty I wait enthralled, expecting the trick always searching always searching…" true love never looks after it's own interests |
