In a mystical panoramic view of carrgeen moss
dreamscape bordered by glinting golden shamrocks,
I see Heaven's rainbows arc and bend down to
her dewy embrace,
as her windy farms and cliffs of Moher in
County Clare glimmer,
the ewes bleat to their lambs in the gentle
rain's mist,
I breathe in her airy fragrance of primrose,
bellflowers, and bearded irises,
as she reclines queenly in her comely
countryside.
I listen enchanted to her people's lilting
brogue,
after all, Irish Gaelic is the language
of God,
her eventide castle's spirits whisper
midst the ghostly presence of
Ireland's first full king.
Ireland, she of cherish,
her lively pubs of rousing cheers,
with the rugby team pride of
her countrymen,
as the stout Guinness flows,
the elder's tales of lore do too.
Many of Ireland's people are
equestrians proud of their
horses,
they ride horseback neath
an opaque sky on a weekend.
Dublin hums and bustles,
as tourists stroll Parnell Square's
cobblestone streets,
in a moonlit meadow,
silver faced lovers jig in
her clover tresses,
as her Celtic music ministers
to my sorrows.
With God's guidance,
in a dream of day I kissed
the Blarney Stone,
and it gifted me with the
talk of an everlasting rising
of the dawn of peace for
her people.
My maiden, my Isle,
I've penned of your
ancestral immortality,
from my childhood to my
white crown,
of your gift of saints
and scholars,
as I bed down in my
emerald imaginings,
from across the vasty
pond her grace beckons
me,
Ireland, she of cherish. ~
