Oh If

The glorious grassy hills of Erin
stretch down to the rolling sea
Over rocky hills and wooded glens
past ancient woods and peat laced fens
A sight for a Irishman to see
oh if I could but go back again

To taste the sweet scented air
to walk under ancient oaks again
To touch the land of my soul
it would indeed make me whole
Erasing ancient aching pains
there upon that land so fair

Hey, I have studied Emily Dickinson. She was very special. Music and Art in general have a direct connection to heaven. The Arts give us relief in a crazy, ungodly(at times) world!

It is uncanny how she expessed these ideas. We are human and a tiny fragment winthin divine. *To Something upper wooing us*.

Wooing you.....And you....and you!
