My City
Any given morning begins above the sprawl
Level to the West ridge before the pavement starts to fall
Across the bordering basin, a thousand years of settlement
Like patchwork in their colour, their allegiances
The damp air of this autumn disfigures Divis in the rain
From summer flowers recovering
Heather's growing back again
Starlings in the church spire, raise my (?)
The chink in the weather's armor, a brighter outlook for today
From the mountains to the crane to the Eastern hills again
My city bright beyond the gray
Past the one time rural graveyard, headstones drown in tussocked grass
Enveloped now by tarmac, loyal sentries of the past
I watch the idle traffic, it cannot move beyond a crawl
Much like change comes to the city, if we ever change at all
Then I join the river sweeping around Stranmillis bend

Imperceptible currents take it to its journey's end
I think of Heraclitus, afraid he was right;
'No one ever steps into the same river twice'
From the mountains to the crane to the Eastern hills again
My city bright beyond the gray
I am across this river, its water flows within my veins
And like its slow persistent journey I'll watch this city change
I have no words of wisdom, nothing not been said before
There is room for one more singer and the chords of a guitar
We have watched the candles flicker and in dark times hardly dared to hope
We are rarely optimistic, there's more blue skies than we know
From the mountains to the crane to the Eastern hills again
My city bright beyond the gray
