Ireland Poem

EIRE – A POEM            by Anna Faustmann
=============

Many years ago my heart flew away.
And I know it still lies on this place.
In my dreams it´s so near to me.
There in a country across the sea.
There where my heart was suddenly free
and history whispers in every tree.
They told us legends and things
of creatures and mystical happenings.
And often they spoke about the little one’s traces.
Here in this country on mysterious places.
My heart is still there and waits for me
in this country called Eire across the sea

Erin                 by Pam Lainhart
====

There is a place within my heart,
that I have yet to see,
I hear it’s music on the wind so gently calling me.

The mountains and the rolling hills, sapphire
loughs in the moonlight glisten,

I am caught by magical sunsets….
while to the sounds of night… I listen.

Laughter I have yet to hear,
soft breezes on my face,
sweet smell of heather in my hair,
all this… I shall embrace.

My heart… each day… longs for a place
that I have yet to see,
One day when I touch the sod of Erin,
Tis home then… I shall be.
