The horizon holds no more dreams for me,
Dreams are now inland rivers
And the standing ovation of untamed monsters
Highlighting my insignificance and surprising significance,
As I travel with you on mind swept waters
With diverted tributaries, like our singular journeys
Down roads of hardship, laughter and continuous pain
That swallowed up every star in the darkest blanket,
We did not escape the thunder storms
On the trail of no surrender,
The arrows of destruction had been fired,
Now we have found each other swept up on the banks
Of the mighty River Barrow, a snake wilful and playful
As it bows to our rise to unity
Of scars healing in the rain sodden streets
Of Carlow, to entice me to come ashore
Into your saturated eyes of the intimacy of home
And all that means,
Swimming in the warm pools of love,
The skies of the past are changing back to blue
And the untamed monsters give a standing ovation
For the acceptance and passion that is being with you.
