Tuatha de Danann Dreaming

 

Tuatha de Danann Dreaming

(A lone Irish voice whispers into the night, as a single white candle burns. Looking at a picture of a beautiful woman)

With time-worn

But stubborn like a six-inch

Jerusalem thorn

Dreaming 

Forlorn 

Tonight 

Of Halcyon Nights 

With you, my love

When memories waterwheels slowly turn,

And midnight candles burn 

As my inner film projectors play

I also remember our beloved Halcyon Days, at the coast

Spent walking and laughing 

Before God moved our goal posts

So tonight, I'm praying and yearning for moments 

Only The Tuatha de Danann can invoke

Pulling back 

My true love

Before I choke 

To help me cope

From Hades 

Swirling 

Grey smoke

The Tuatha Dé Danann are described as a supernatural race, much like idealized humans, who are immune from ageing and sickness, and who have powers of magic.
