stirrings

closely linked to one's 

roots

this wasn't part of
the garden tour
at the art museum
but it spoke to me
as I was walking by
and asked to have its
picture taken

on St. Paddy's Day

chores were made joyful

with a Celtic

backdrop

pictures and music

that had me

trying my hand

well...feet

at river dancing

like no one was watching

images of Ireland

and Celtic crosses

seemed to surround

me

wearing mine

right along with

the green

and as it goes

the mind wanders

with a prayer in your heart

that touches the lips

and you find yourself standing

at the spot of another cross

that somehow bid you to 

come.

Stirrings 

that pull at you

draw you to them

and you just know

you must

listen.
