RESTLESS LEPRECHAUNS

(c) 2009 Howard McQueen

The leprechauns, they need feeding
already again intoxicated from too much drinking.
Ready the light and divine music
known to stir open their hearts.

Those leprechauns, their mischievousness always ready to peak
their known proclivity toward mean-spiritedness and misdeed.
Lets make sure they are warmed by the music
to instead celebrate the heart and be bawdy
and outrageous with their fellowship.

Let there be dancing and merriment in abundance,
then those leprechauns can take these gifts of practiced experience
deep into the healing balm of their sleep.

A blessing for all who hold pain and hurt in their heart and who have been struck down, once or repeatedly, by the anger, hostility and pain erupting from another. Let us see this violence for what it really is, so we can respond from the heart and not with fist, knife, pommeling cutting words or the arsenal of weapons. - HM
