I feel as wild and free
as the hills and the
mountains I climbed
and the clear view of
the stone house ruins
and that old tree and
the tiny white spots
(sheep) every where
that I saw from the
top of the mountain
in the warm sunlight
and what a different
kind of light it was

I feel wild and salty
fresh after walking
the endless beach
surrounded by
white horses
on green wild waves
and grey blue
and purple shades
of mountains
on each side with
high darkening
blue skies holding
bright gold and pale
orange streaks of light
from the most perfect
sunset....

thank you for your
beauty and the freedom

Oh Ireland
I am forever
changed
because of you
