  • To drift beneath the arches

    Beneath O’Connell’s
    steadfast span
    I stand and feel
    the river’s plan
    Its gentle pull
    its ceaseless song
    To carry
    the restless heart along
    What if I leapt, a whisper
    a sigh
    To join the Liffey
    as it winds by
    Through arches bent
    by time and stone
    Where Dublin’s soul
    has long been sown?
    Bridge by bridge
    its waters call
    A Viking’s ghost
    in its rise and fall
    To the sea that cradled
    their sturdy prows
    And kissed the shores
    where their honor bows
    The tide would take me
    far
    away
    Beyond where sunlight
    greets the day
    To melt
    into the ocean’s breast
    And find
    at last eternal rest
    No trace
    no shadow left behind
    Just flowing waters
    undefined
    Dublin would
    forget my name
    Yet I’d be part
    of its endless frame
    Oh city born
    of blackened pool
    Where tides are fierce
    yet strangely cool
    Take me now
    beneath your streams
    And let me fade
    in timeless dreams
