Not so Different

demo: [audio:http://donalkelly.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/talkAboutDifferences.mp3|titles=Not so Different]

we’re not so different, we’re not so far apart
so long to the old city, we long for a new start

where there are open spaces, to swing an idle thought
where we can feel the …

Pep Talk (Summertime)

Aimless, thoughtless, unbounded, loosened, ragged… Blast!
Gurgling loops, round and round and each curve a little more eroded.

Sit, sit and be still. Douse that ragged brain in cold water. let it sting until you settle, finally awake.

The preacher stands waiting at the gate. Is he coming or going, hearing or telling? With your finger raised to …

Deserting the Circus

Hungry hunter hot on your heels, money no good for whatever he steals.

Swell

Swell hell unforgiving unbidden
The anchor drags along the sea floor, fish scattering and sand billowing.
Deep peace in the dark depths disturbed.
Chase up along the wire coils and then bow and boat and wave crests thudding below a …

In Need Of…

In need of
Distraction,
Direction,
Redemption.

Stripped down, the workmanship laid bare,
Twisted knuckles hang in the air.
At the doorway, pause, freeze, statue-solid,
Like you had never read and your ghost had just disappeared,
And armies marched across your …

To Slowly Grow

demo: [audio:http://donakello.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/toSlowlyGrow.mp3|titles=To Slowly Grow]

Waiting, waiting again. Way in, still in to begin.
Stranded, abandoned by fate. Handed, my papers too late.

Wandered into the wilderness, lost my compass and my map.
From point to point I must impress, the …

You make it look so easy, you make it seem so effortless,
Forget all the rest.

Hopes willing hearts desiring, go filling up with rising sun-
The only one.

Time’s shackles tied to our souls, sworn to surrender …

The storm around us grows, the window shakes, the curtains blow
In a flash I see a pale reflection
A bolt of blue lights up the room, and raps of thunder beat their tune
In a dash …

Angels aimed at peoples, catching off the steeples with their eyes
Turned to face the truth but it is racing for the sunset from the lies

I tried to make a difference, but the only good …

Content

And now he was flying, content
pouring from his mind
through his fingers
into a void

and there, late at night
aimed at the dawn
pouring from his soul,
to no-one at all

in a state so rehearsed
from the …

Here, or hardly, or highly

a little bit vague no? water calm and soft and a slight blue in the last evening of the year, dog racing from pier to random pier, chasing birds or shadows. So it silently slid by, and what little space …

Feel

Demo:[audio:http://donalkelly.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Feel.mp3|titles=Feel]

Pages unturned, prayers unheard,
Of nature’s way with broken words.
Worth pennies or pounds, you’re buying rounds,
For everyone, for everyone
Again

Long distance line, all doing fine
Head held aloft when connections are dropped
Go about days in …

So you’re deeply seeking to keep awake,
Because your dreams are making your days’ life seem fake
And you’re disillusioned about all that you have,
In the eyes of others you see someone mad.

And are …

Enter Sand.

Shorn of faith
Too bloody serious
Dipped a toe in the sea
Not funny, just cold, just cold

These gadgets do not help… or do they?
I certainly feel very connected and in touch.
So the absence of attention from …

and on and on and

and on and on and.
pulled from the crowd, blessings beseached
now get back to your seat

the very most reverend,
getting irrelevant
but not on this watch

a space where we tie our laces and learn how to count…
