For Paddy Moloney the Chief of the Chieftians
Beloved son of Ireland
born to bring us home
Pure of a water sound
Every eye is a weeping
The well has gone dry
Beloved son Paddy Patrick
May you be in heaven now
I will look for the rainbows
you send back here to us

Jedi Warriors
Jedi Warriors brothers of peace thank you

sign of peace may the force be always
with you dedicated warriors of peace

Bruce Springstenn did not come to Denman Island
Becky came in dreamtime
she said you stopped Bruce springsteen
from coming to denman your responsible
meantime the french man was waiting to
print my story my evidence all the details
then the retired doctor came in to enquire
The man from Scotland was running around
I shouted out the bus window at him saying
There is just too many of you mad fuckers here
Now I am reading this definately not a poem

Moving on
The scar will not heal trauma onto trauma
Where time stood still. Compassion Empathy
Who blew sons and daughters apart inhumanity
The people who need the most compassion
Are those who carry the scars of the bombings
watching waiting listening I am part of WAVE
Broken again by the British Parliament again
I am disgusted as a human being to my core
The powers that be slapping the face of the Irish
Standing at the door in my nurses uniform blood
soaked victims and survivors are passing people
who caused their pain. Honour the victims now
The problem with messages to politicans is they
are not on the same page. We cannot hope to heal
The past will be resolved. How can we move forward
It was dark and bad an evil time we cannot do it if
we remained stuck in time and place of war war war
Art was a way for me to express myself .Wounded
Looking at injustices in society and people wounded
I use my art to become a voice a voice for Peace
Silent testimony give voice to the voiceless

medication mix up
My heart responded to over medication
by jamming the regular heart beat beat
instead the pacemakers sent out panic
pinning of the walls no thump thump
instead ratatta rattatta new heart beat
hospital emergency medications new
blood thinner blood pressure drugs
to tell the brain to tell the heart slow
down and so it goes heart feels slow
over medicated put doctor's balls in
a
vice see how he feels over medicated

WIll I see you in Heaven
I was born alone and abandoned when I was two
Possibly a twin they removed her long ago she had
My face she was my sister my twin identical beauty
What a cruel world we were born into seperated
At birth for me to be lonely forever and you what
Ashes to ashes dust to dust now do I walk forward
My heart is broken it has stopped beating in time
What can I do now I cannot put a bandage on it
It lives deep in my chest and has served me well
I ran like the wind as a child I played field hockey
I ran cross country.I walked across the north
Now I breathe with fear of clots of strokes
I have to surrender take care and wear green
Some people do not get to die with consciousness
This reminds me of solitary confinment in jail
when I refused to wear their prison uniform
They put me in the hole and day became night
Suspended like this damn plandemic of Mr Gates
My Heart Is Broken
My heart is broken how do I sort it out
My life my love and future I am scared
That no one will care and love him
My heart is telling me time is up
When I thought I had many tomorrows
How do I prepare for death my death
What do I need to do what decisions
Dear God please help me sort it out
I cannot die the house is way to messy
I have letters to write things to say
Before the silence of forever takes me
How do I say goodbye to my husband
Should I find him another good woman
Oh but who could love him as I do
Something is wrong in this picture
Is that bloody smart meter responsible
For this heart beat that has become crazy
Dying is easy saying goodbye is not

The Funeral
The day warm and singing birds and death
The Duke is now well on his way to heaven
A life well lived they said a man of honor
The man with the glint in his eye a man of love
Philip walked with Betty every day that is true love
Suspended in time
I watch my hands they glide over the keyboard letters
What shall I draw today a picture of time suspended
A pretty picute of spring when mother earth wakes up
When daffodils with yellow crowns and bluebells sing
An ode to the magic of this time of new apple blossoms
Yes yes and yes again we rise and we are reborn to live
Despite the evilness of man who would turn us to stone

We had to leave or stay the choice was ours
You called it as always you called the way forward
Then you paid as West Jet froze your ass to Calgary
Hypodermic Trudeau punishment for us sun lovers
The tin can homewards chilled our core bodies frozen
never think that passengers may have post coma trauma
Your body was chilled to the bone in nineteen eight seven
for forty days your body temperature near freezing
now that memory lingers I said take a hot shower remember
Instead you battle your life force freezing memory all night
At dawn I drag you into the shower and your core heats up
Husband husband husband how many times have I saved you
You who never remembers where you left things your clever
that is why I married you your clever but you need assistance
God sent me to Canada all the way to Tofino to find you alone
Blue eyed one beautiful smile laughing one dancing one you
are my delight my sorrow my pain in the ass one
marriage
Where did the time go lost like the color of hair
I look at your wrinkled old body with lust
It is in your eyes I see the light of love
What happened to yesterday and us what happened
Oh you are my sunshine yes you are my beloved
I watch you like a hawk your every step guided
Love is patient and kind Love is a tree growing
I am oak and you fir we belong in a forest of green
I am so happy for the memories we have together
You are my day I am your night we dance in light
Avitar Singh and Avitar Kaur you and me walking
You are laughing more and becoming the man inside
My hero my dreamer my man of sound sweet heart
We will walk forever as one heaven bound this time
CANADA
Under quarantine contagious maybe or not
Always time for reflection in Canada
Where snow falls forever in winter time
A few days ago I was in sunshine and heat
Now I am chilled to the bone in memory
I immigrated to Canada with sweet husband
It takes ten days to get used to bone chilling
Glad to be home missed the cats and all
WIll stay in bed till the sun shines again
Will dream of sun soaked waves and sounds
Mexico could never be my home I am north
Give me ten days to come to myself again
Give me cups of gunpowder green tea
Give me Canada. Bone chilling Canada
Any wonder the people are miserable here.

i SOLD MY soul to the devil he lives somewhere in america
his name is mark huckleberry or someone like that a machine

He uses my energy to play a game called loose your soul
He uses a weapons just like the ones I use right now I am using
a psyochoric weapons yes my fingers my head my words
goodbye
Building stone walls
Indentured labor all thru time is this planet hell or what
A stone wall built in 1649 is still standing in 2020\
The blood of the builder the sweat the tears is gone
The bent sore hands the medicine of stone ignore it
Let them take away your every last breath chuurla
Ulster I am one of your own a country lass to the bone
Fragmented demented out of my mind at two years old
Winifred Winifred Winifred who named you that name
Winifred had her head nearly severed off by angry man
Winifred became a saint after the fact the fucker failed
She became a nun with the scar marks across her neck
My Winifred she walked every day and ate garlic and
Even got on a plane when she was eighty four for CANADA
WINIFRED WINIFRED WIN A BUSH IN WIN BUSH
Tripping up on old words i heard them say the elders
Ballyheather Burndennet Killycurry Donemana/Dunmanagh
Strabane Oak City Ancient Derry them walls as thick as stone
There is a city far away without a wall where Jesus died
In Rome now is not that a funny story I mean how did he
Get to Rome from where he was. Forgive my ignorance
I was schooled in nature in water in air in stone I was
A peyote medicine took me into my small being wow wow wow
Ad three wows after all this is your poem your rhytm your dance
The greates poet is still alive you will find him on the street in
Nanaimo he is eighty plues and he is brilliant Timothy Landers
He is a solider of the heart he is a dead beat a dead ringer a bell
He is a poet the greatest poet that ever lived Tim Landers
A wee child taken and put on a train away from the war games
Today i walked on the path of stone built in 1649 by men slaves
For the stealers to rape mother earth take her silver yeah to pay
Judus SCARET.. ( I need an editor job in open ) silver coins
Oak was brought there I had a feeling that my ancestors slaves
brought seeds in their pockets to help them live in the jail
far away from Ulster far away from Donegal far away from Belfast
Seeds in the their pockets and a knife to cut of buttons
I was transported to Dungannon in a nano second stone carries
all information needed remember to keep your word always

The Pusher
Bright beautiful woman open womb scares men
Violent little bastards jealous jealous of wombs
Jealous of soft gentle open wombs forgiving
Life to seeds to potential to become mother
Divine mother you are a saint of all humanity
Evil man wants to kill womb kill your beauty
Here take this drug you will die no future now
Just a rotten corpse that is what evil man likes
Dead decaying beauty gone forever and ever
Fentanyl drug pushing killer stalking streets
Looking for sweet smiling open womb woman
In the name of all dead passionate sweet woman
Evil man you have not met you fate your hell yet
Stalking the community for your next victim now
Breathing your death breath ways offering a pill
Killer on the loose and silent beauty says nothing
What happened to our heroes where did they go
These now porno skanny bitches need to wake up
Wake up before you find yourself dead as a maggot

The painting
Speaking a thousand words I am but a puff of smoke
from the jail in ballyheather eighteen years tourtered
my body is full of mortal bullet holes of hate spoken
torture day in day out no laughter no freedom nada
torture words mostly grinding my pure soul into dust
yes I was dead on arrival at one year nine months dead
when did it begin the stripping away of everything real
I sang in the choir I went to sunday school miss woods
cried she loved Jesus and in him I felt my salvation
The painting says it all I barely remember doing it art
yes art releases all body pain art can only celebrate
like a secret never to be told art releases the horror
making it easier to look at but not really I look and
see blood everywhere. In my eyes so much sorrow
how did I survive my eyes are full of meaning my
lips are big. I have become a very tall tree.

The world has disappeared the roads are empty the streets
Except for the line ups outside the grocery stores all left
Not that it matters no not at all I mean we are born alone
We die alone and what is in between are only moments
Of laughs of rage for passion that is so fleeing like wind
The blink of an eye the catch of a phrase your voice still
In my head yes all the conversations I have ever had ever
After all what is memory but sound and color and meaning
You make me real or you make me not that important ever
I am able to make me all that is within my imagination mow
Now that there is time to be aware of just being here and now
Alone with this great empty space of being inside this planet
You see now irrelevant they have made us the pandemic rules
We have become a silent dot a pimple of the face of the universe
This pimple is shouting out across the planet hey you over there
Remember when we laughed till your faces nearly stayed that way
Remember that kiss that wave that memory of us tripping along
You in your slick wet overcoat and me in my cream arran sweater
We thought the time would last the day the clock would stand still
We never thought it would all be over so fast so vast is this empty
Where are you now in this lonely space are you afraid to speak
Awake now listen foe the sound of your own breath against earth
Listen to the whisper of the wind or the anger of that wind blowing
Human human human where is your being now you do not matter
Your only a heart beat away from death your lungs will stop you
Do not let that idea enter your consciousness dispel the fuckers
Curse them to hell and back these grimy bastards of contention
These makers of money these makers of big lies these con men
Would tell you you do not matter and do not dare you to sneeze

Feet First
Into the fire feet first flames heat roasted at 3000 degrees
I am but a memory until that memory fades I am a dream
It was all only a dream I dreamed I lived and died again
All this physical stuff the clothes the shoes the guitars
The paintings on the wall nothing nothing nothing at all
What will I leave behind now when my essence leaves
I will be the space your finger leaves in the jar of water
I lived from this date to this date I had no children now
I had a dog or two and a cat or two and a husband or two
My life was lived for love and I found love every day
Yes in the scent of wild rose or honeysuckle and geranium
In the air of the ocean or in the smell of rain in morning
When did life become so meaning less abuse does that
Not me and my sweet man but us and the world out there
The world that has hurt us so much West Jet airlines cruel
Canadian Tire Comox Valley Recreational center pokes
Make light make fun treat us with disdain head injured
We carry a wound that cannot be seen we carry a wound
St Patrick's day
Out on the cold mountain side and ate
What a saint in training eats God knows
The Holy Spirit fed your soul no doubt
You dreamt of returning home again

Turning three
Before my mother died she came to visit me in Canada
She was eighty five years old her hair was root black
She had a small photograph with her she left behind
Canada was all trees to her the people said "Wow"
When asked why native Syiapapiss said wow is Mom
Mother MOM upside down we were all upside down
In my dream I was walking my feet are sure stepped
I am going back to find my shoes for this hard road
The young men of the reservation and crying out loud
They want love they want family they want to marry
We are the generation facing the damage done to us
Orphaned abandoned abused and almost destroyed
My own story is but mine to tell my name is Sheila
Sheila Winifred Simpson Oldfield Mulholland Brown
I was McGowan in Ballyheather being molested by
the poor man who was sent to war at only seventeen
My own father was a John Oldfield from Manchester
A passionate fling by Buckingham Palace in the fifties
The Salvation Army in Belfast made sure my twin died
Alone orphaned abandoned and abused Winifred and me
Never despair our family crest says "Never despair "
I am walking back to find my shoes and something else
Possibly my soul hidden under some rock on a stone wall
My name is Sheila Winifred Simpson I was in New York
when I turned twenty one I was offered political asylum
Instead I returned to Belfast to take care of the bomb
blasted children in Dr. Barnardos in nineteen seventy four
I am dream walking on native land that has been paved
Listening to the young men crying to their grandmothers
We want to find love and get married we want to be fathers
My father was in the Queen's service my mother a nurse
I was conceived in England but born in Belfast a twin I was
Never to see my sister after the womb we were parted by
some damn cruel system of hate of politic of the devil him
My mother made the journey from Dungannon to Denman
To bring me a story she was afraid to tell she was killed
In some senior home her nutrition denied her hip broken
Beloved strong warrior lady of the north she went home
Riding the milky way of heaven on a great white steed
My name is peacewalker
My name is Moves Fire Woman
My name is Buffalo Spirit Woman
My name is Yellow Moon
I am Dandelion
I am Banshee a fairy woman who sings
Sun dancer who pierced to the tree of life
for grandmother Omagh in dutch
On our lady's day of Ascension a bomb
blew the place apart a generation of four
On a cold pavement at three in the afternoon blood ran
In the village of Moy Winifred 's remains rotting into dust
Along side her first cousins David and his brother along
side the Simpson ladies the sisters all have headstones
Winifred my beloved dear wonderful strong Winifred rest
I will have no headstone
no marker
no words
nothing grand
For me it is into the fire and into the water and back to God
Back to rejoin the holy choir in heaven to sing for my Lord

Brahms came to Denman Island
Sweetness and light like wind coming in the window
soft sweet wind from far of land of sun and sand
oh the play of notes coming together and apart
Catherine's hand rising and falling fingers spread
Like spider mother weaving passion into sound
Her husband Kai he and violin make love flowing
Flowing flowing flowing a gift from God these two
Sure Brahms himself is singing in the place of deepness
Allegro Adagio Un poco presto e con sentimento
Kai Gleusteen Brahms to Denman on Holy Sunday
Violin Sonata and Piano Quartet no.3in d minor,opus 108
Summer breeze wafts through the room violin opens hearts
Yes music reaches into longings in heart core strings deep
Brahms surly knew love of great to melt the hard edges off
God looks down and smiles says thank you my children
Sunday afternoon in the garden of Eden and paradise

Grandson Owen
Delightful lad he and grandfather making fire
burning away old gate and banging hammers
nine and a half year old and sixty five year old
between them a whole lot of medicine soul time
They got to be alone to play each other friend
two peas in a pod in playing in the fire element
We go to eagle point to look over the nest
At eagle point he becomes an "Owen Bird"
Before our eyes we see this little man become
a bird with all intention his beak a plastic bottle
his arms out spread wings he is flying around
on the ground a big "Owen bird " as eagles
real eagles on a nest listen intently below
listen and surely wonder who is this owen bird
If I were a little bird
Sure I would be fast alseep till first dawn light
Where do the wee birds sleep at night alone
Little birds who sing at dawn with all them
Little birds who share secrets if we listen
Little birds can detect bullshit in humans
Telling lies or conning as humans do
Sing my robin red breast sing your soul
Raven talks to me and mimicks my words
Crow now there is awesome bird for sure
Law light shadow and seeing in between
