The Muse Plays Celtic

Lord oh Lord what had me played
when I listened to the Celtic sway
which carried me oh so far away
as what those tunes did to me today

carried me off to Donegal's green
where my soul must once have been
and I know I believe in Brigadoon
as I heard an Irish lass croon

Harmonious Pipe was Stephen's song
and I listen so quietly, oh so long
as it played, I knew this thrill
to be again there on yon hill

'tis so pleasant to hear e'en the pipe
to envision now the mists at dawn  
to be then in your arms so wide
to walk the landscape God set us on

I believe I'm then from Ireland
for the lovely mists and moors
call me back with Celtic song
and take me to where I lived before…



Karilea
If I whisper, will you listen?...
I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound.

Sunshine,
Well done! How could anyone forget Ireland?

"and take me to where I lived before…"


Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love

Karilea~ Karilea~

I feel the pipes a'playing
caught up in your song.
May gentle breezes blow you
home where you belong.

On a thoughtful note of music
or tender poet's rhyme,
may you always know your roots
in Celtic soul devine.

*You just inspire me !  
Love ya'

denise, my bones have always felt Irish, but to my knowledge, I'm pretty much German...

Daniel, I don't know, I've not been yet...but I always felt drawn to it...

Sven, see above...not yet...someday...

Yea, Marge is inspired, see her write!...hugs,

Oh....you did get me with this!!! I love Celtic music, and I know this rapture that you write of so beautifully....If you can find her, there is a lady here in New Orleans by the name of Beth Patterson...I know you would love her as I do.

Superb Karilea! I thank you.

Serenity, Celtic music is a muse unto itself, isn't it?  Thank you...and the next time I'm in New Orleans, I shall...thank you!
