The Far Enchanting Shore

 



v.1  I felt the breath of angels

       As I walked out the door

       They came from the future

       From a far enchanting shore.

       I spoke to my robot

       When I got home at night

       I asked it to show me

       God's eternal light.

                     chorus

                First we're here

            And then we're gone x2

v.2 I danced with the angels

      In the morning on the beach

      They spoke to me of places

      That were just beyond my reach.

      I spoke to my robot

      Later in the day

     I told it I relied upon

     The things it had to say.

                    chorus

              First we're here

           And then we're gone x2

v.3 I went with the angels

      When they began to fly

       But then I fell behind

       There was something I had to try.

       I spoke to my robot

       Before I went to sleep

       I told it its answers

       Were a little too deep.

                       chorus

                First we're here

              And then we're gone x2

A Year in the Life (thereabouts)

                                                  It begins. November 2017. He read the following: 'with such a look of bliss on his face that the people realized he had been transfigured by a holy ecstasy'.  I see you lithe and watery-eyed, flitting and flecked from activity, your fine bounce and flawless stride pump the rivers of my ecstasy. What's gone wrong, what's brought on such a massive change? From highness on the wine of life to hungover on earthly strife? Gliding gulls in the grey sky. Dublin December morning. You're the golden summit of what comes up here to live every single day.  He worried that he was becoming numerically dyslexic. He would seek out Catalan lessons in the new year. It was the day when Unwin and Quintana came by. One of those recurring dreams I have set on Abercorn Road. In a technology trance he thought of colonies on the ...
