Night Poetry

By Seán Tobin

In this collection of poetry, we enter the mystery of the Night. Who knows what that Night will bring? We may step back into the past. We may look to the future through the eyes of surrealism. We may see the present time as a secretive world, only the Night wanderer can unlock. What does the Night hold?
In the hours of Night, darkness envelopes. Darkness can be present in the brightest of days though, the leading light is dimmed. How can the Night wanderer take the next step along the journey of life, when they cannot see the way ahead? Who will come to their aid? When will the dawn break?
We are part of the world around us, a precious world, a precious gift. In all the power of the planet’s forces, we recognise a vulnerable planet. The forces of Earth, Air, Water and Fire are at the mercy of humanity. How much do we value everything that is in our hands? Do we bring darkness or light to our environment? Do we value the changing of the seasons? Do we stand in awe at the beauty of the passing year?
We undertake a journey, into where?

Seán currently lives in Southampton. After 20 years of actively serving in the Catholic priesthood, he now explores life, both personal and general through words of poetry. He finds this enriching, therapeutic and a little bewildering! Seán’s ministry as a priest has helped him to appreciate both the joys and the traumas of life. Seán also shares a house in rural Galicia, Northern Spain, which has become a second home. It is a place of tranquility and a place to appreciate the rhythms of life. It is also a place of hard work!
