Van Morrion
Into the Mystic
We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
And when that fog horn blows I want to hear it
I don't have to fear it
I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
Then magnificently we will float into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
And when thst fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it
I don't have to fear it
I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will float into the mystic

The Clansman
by Sylvyrwyng on Nov 03 (bookmark) (print) (next)
allpoetry.com/poem/1608296
On the hill above the moor
A clansman silently stands
Patience etched in every line
As his prey decides
Tall and slender, willowy and strong
Brown hair flowing in the winds song
Muscles flex, the arrow flies
The meal brought down with nary a sigh
Tartan plaid with broadsword wide
As the stars shine in your eyes
Bring forth the warrior pride
Silent strength in every stride
You pay tribute to your catch
Honor the spirit help it pass
Using only what you need
Nature’s laws heeded
You lift your eyes to the heavens
Watching for guidance there
Wanting to know if there is more
Wishing you could leap and go
On the hill above the moor
A clansman silently stands
Patience etched in every line

Deep thoughts woven, words entwined
So many layers, or not
How much more for us to find
Deep thought woven, words entwined
Exquisite crafting by a poetic mind
Not left in a gutter to rot
Deep thoughts woven, words entwined
So many layers, or not
Thank you Susan. This was very kind.
