Casey Neill
From The Yardarms
From the yardarms we're tied in a weavers knot
Blown off and alee
on the ice cold blue morning come with wintertide
as we look out on green Kerry
you are my backbone and staff, my lover and laugh
tangled in your strawflower hair
from the yardarms we sit and look out at the land
that made you and i a pair
From the yardarms I walked form the jackals lair
where I was taught to serve
the snow lights falls between love and the earth
arching from a blinding curve
we pull close the covers so full of sleeps gifts
come together like water and shore
here is the junction of hope faith pain and fear
from the hills that you so adore
I know not the world but for peace on this day
quiet walks among every reed
in a tunic of roses and a crown of moor mist
she plants he still soft seed
the true unmeasured mind that's so rare to find
in a world of distance and noise
from the yardarms we look at this wondrous greenland
and are pummeled by rapture and joy
