the hidden path I seek,
and mountains rise where
valleys should be meek,
I’ll move like water,
patient, ever-bent
on finding cracks
through stone’s impediment.
The root splits rock by
slow determined prayer;
so too shall I, arrive
to meet you there.

no longer bow beneath
the weight of chains
disguised as sovereignty,
like seedlings craving
light through iron’s sheath,
she strains towards
her own soft liberty.
Let rivers run
to no man’s parliament;
Let winds obey
no border’s crude consent.

beneath the masks that time has bid me wear,
my greenheart beats; it never has been lost.
This boy who worshipped moss still kneels in prayer.
The world may age this flesh, may bend this frame,
but roots are deep - my soul stays wild, untame.
beneath the masks that time has bid me wear,
my greenheart beats; it never has been lost.
This boy who worshipped moss still kneels in prayer.
The world may age this flesh, may bend this frame,
but roots are deep - my soul stays wild, untame.
my sap runs green,
the boy who spoke to stones
still dwells within.
Beneath all seasons worn,
all masks I’ve been,
my roots drink deep from earth’s
eternal spring.
The greenheart knows no time:
I am the same
wild sapling breathing God
through leaf and rain.

their dark assembly overhead,
such urgent politics
in their rusty throats.
They barter news
of their currencies,
negotiate the day’s affairs
with an eloquence.
What business drives
these otherworldly voices?
I am merely a man,
excluded from their commerce.

my land can’t solve,
the green hills hold their
ancient, quiet prayer,
where mist and stone
and memory revolve
in soft communion
with the salted air.
Each bog, each stream
speaks peace in Irish tongue,
a beauty older than
the songs I’ve sung.

and feed the waiting ground,
the hawk, the stone,
the sorrow we have known.
There is a law
where comfort can be found:
what dies becomes
the seed, the soil, the bone.
Moss covers all
with patient, final grace,
and the beginning
finds its resting place.
