The Songbird

The Songbird

She listened to my overtures

But we never did duet

She left me in the chorus

Though our eyes 
They sometimes met

Her voice sang out 

So sweetly

A beautiful refrain
 

Standing in her shadow

From harmonies refraining

Mike O'Leary - March 2014

Creative Journeys

Creative Journeys

Be still
Still life
Whilst we capture
Your essence in pastel

Remain silent
Inner critic
Let us speak
In a voice unabashed

Stay in tune
Make time count
 Embracing the flow 
Of the rhythm

Stay tuned in 

On the air
Mixing sounds
 Both made and found

Embark on
 A creative journey
Be guided

By your Muse

It may prove
To be very fruitful
But at least
It may serve to amuse
  

Mike O’Leary – February 2014
