Rebirthday in the Yellow Room
(Dublin 15-4-2000)
Way down
by the River
Liffey in Dublin Town
I lay my burden down
My cares dem troubles
Let the river wash it
All away and cleanse
Me clean as the new
Day – magic and mystery
Bleach me light
And I will wear that
White dress
ivory pure
The pearl of wisdom
It’s mine now and
In time to be
Coming through me
It’s all arriving
Back at the place
Where we all began
And I want my
Innocence back
Sixties and Beatles and
Flowers in my hair
Naked and bare
I revel in it soft as snow
had enough of
Darkness
Now I’ve seen the pink dawn
Breaking in the mirror after
my vision
Where I lay down my sword
in the wet
Green grass and blessed it
I let it go and all flow
Let it all fly
And transform into stars in my eyes
And yours ….
And all the right songs are playing,
Melanie and Donovan in the yellow room
In Dublin
The sun shines in my heart
Full to bursting, whole now at long last
Yellow and green
Van Gogh would know
and Donovan catch the wind
John is walking in the garden –
And I feel the goddess rising
Breaking like the day and smiling
All on me and in and through you
My words are gifts god-spell and if the
World says stop then I say go, go go …
All the way to the garden.

I think
I’m home now
