David dreams


David dreams of Connemara
Safely by his mother's side
Playing tag amongst his brothers
Buck and frolic, seek and hide.
****************
David dreams of misty mountains
Grass so green, so lush and high
Soft rain falls from sacred fountains
In a never-ending sky.
****************
David dreams of dizzy gallops
Bounding through the sweetest air
Sunny carefree bliss of summers
Ignorant of hurt or care.
****************
David dreams of days beforehand
Without harness, wire or wheel
No men shouting, no bones broken
No limbs cut by tangled steel.
****************
David dreams of home in Ireland
Before ferry and the road
Before terror, cold and panic
Made his gentle mind explode.
****************
David dreams of Connemara
Simpler days when home was best
Safer days beside his mother
Kinder days of peace and rest.
