In My Moments Of Fancy

Above the great oceans and across the sky
In my moments of fancy i often does fly
To the flat rushy fields near the Town of Millstreet
In the green countryside where the waterways meet
My visualizations remain as a flutter of joy
Of where i grew to love Nature when i was a boy
In leafy groves of Duhallow birds are singing today
The past may be gone but the memories stay
Of the song of the dipper in the babbling waterway
Good old memories die hard as the wise one does say
Everyday i am learning of Nature in this Land far south
Of the fields of the badger and waterways of the brown trout
In the coastal countryside of emu, koala and gray kangaroo
And white long billed corella and dark brown yellow tailed black cockatoo
And though her secrets are many and her wonders not few
Of Nature every day i do learn something new.
