Celtic Dream

 

It's in the ancient
   winds of a Celtic dream 
In the green sweep of
   the ocean
Caught in the frenzied 
   dance
With tall dark cliffs
The west, the sea,
   the ancient tribes
Collected here in
   the damp earth
Among the old oaks
  and wild deer

It's in the ancient 
  tunes and sighs
The cries of bards
  and battles
Blood red the earthen
  land
In tribal conflict
  and the dawn
The awakening of
  civilization
Here in the deep
  dank dwellings
Among the oak 
  and beech


It's here among
  the rhymes and 
     the dance
It's here in green,
  in rhythymic tune
Here we'll gather
You and I
Here we'll drink of
  the deep passion
Of Celtic mysteries
  and reveal our thirst
Our love for being --
  spiritual entities
And here in Ireland's
  depths we'll dream
