Silent Donaghadee : Lyric Poetry

Welcome to my dream ,
won't you come and walk with me ,
by the banks near Donaghadee .
I crossed the bridge to where shadows wander,
where the wild flowers dance so gracefully ,
as the wind blows the clouds in wonder ,
between the sunlit places,
a running stream ,
where corridors of trees line grassy banks there ,
beside a path that is shaded green ,
I cast my bread upon the water
and I heard the silent words that spoke to me .
Let your dreams fly to the sky and fall into space,
Dreams are free in Donaghadee .
It was then that I thought I should be leaving ,
so up into the air I did fly ,
with my dreams I kept for the journey ,
I looked back and kissed Donaghadee goodbye.
