Two poems by Colleen O'Neill

 

The evening light rises

rose colored as the dawn

reaching into the rain grey heavens

    swirling mixed like fingerpaint.

The grey clouds soft as goose down

    billow love.

Somewhere someone's heart is

    full to spilling with joy.


***************       

        

        feeling at home
        grounded and present

body and soul
            and wishing to walk
through the misty moist

Nightfall        to see
    and run from that which is
Not there
        follow the nightbird
            follow the song sweet and
deep in the forest
to the circle of trees
where the sky opens
and the grandmothers speak
in the tongue of the tuathade daman
        wise and wild with spirit
