Colleen (Belfast), 2026

There are some people -

Some you just know.

That the light in their face

Oh, that glow.

Sometimes you just know.

She has been through The Struggle,

She has long felt The Pain.

So much so

That her brain’s chemistry has changed.

She is not quite an empath.

But she is quite unique.

The feelings she feels.

Are so rare –

So pristine.

Through The Struggle

She promised

To steer the ship, oh, just right

She is responsible.

She is a protector.

She is the Lord’s most divine.

With that glow in her face.

That laugh – that scan – that

That -

Sheer desire for contagious happiness.

It is peace.

It is not peaceful.

But, it is peace.

It is through The Struggle.

The Pain.

That the glow.

Vibes in rain.

I call it Colleen.

With that glow in her face.

And her laugh – Oh, you just know.

That something’s quite right

In the way the sunshine flows.

That glimmer of hope.

That faith in love.

It was not taught.

But it was not random.

It was through Struggle

And real life

That it happened.

That glow is quite rare.

Because only those who’ve seen despair.

Can glow.

Like the glow

That’s Colleen.

No stranger is strange.

No loser is unclaimed.

No one lost is unfound.

No one missing is unseen.

Certainly not, when you meet the lady Colleen.
