Close your eyes
and begin the dream
close your mind
and forget the truth.
'Na shuain chadail
'Na shuain chadail
Fíile tlítha
Fíile tlítha.
Succumb sweet child to the sweet illusion
and taste the fruits of deception
become that what you are
but are not in truth.
That which you become
deceived by the scent
to please the wind
as it whispers its lies to your willing ears.
That knowledge is not the truth
laighe nathair
searbhanta ceangailte
laighe seann
'na lín dhõisg.
'na lín dhõisg.
tuig?
Understand?
Wake up and remember
rub your eyes
and close the window
so the wind can go away.
Matthew James 15th May 1996
