Feeling silence saved for starlit night <br />In Cuba, where my unborn children cried, <br />Undid my mind and bade me thus to write. <br /> <br />Floodgates broke our landlocked city’s height <br />In Birmingham, where chemistry’s denied, <br />Feeling silence saved for starlit night. <br /> <br />My concrete bloodstains on that broken site <br />In Cheltenham; where garech nearly died, <br />Undid my mind and bade me thus to write. <br /> <br />Two men walked with me through my urban fight <br />In Carrigallen, where our rage was tried, <br />Feeling silence saved for starlit night. <br /> <br />Watching time depart beyond twilight <br />In Cavan, where the sterling nurses lied, <br />Undid my mind and bade me thus to write. <br /> <br />In Leitrim always, when the moon shone bright, <br />Wandering wild glens and cliffs inside, <br />Feeling silence saved for starlit night <br />Undid my mind and bade me thus to write.<br /><br />Sean Godley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/feeling-silence-saved-for-starlit-night/
