What wondrous voice is this I hear, That shares it's beauty with my ear? Sweet children's voices can't compare And even angels should beware. It is a harp in Ireland born Upon an ancient, foggy morn. Some Druid bard first gave it breath And it survived him at his death, To pass from hand to hand, until It reached the present, singing still! Betty Lou Hebert |

A most wonderous first write, and directly in keeping with the month! Welcome to Passions! Look around, get acquainted, read, comment, and just have yourself a great time! Check your e-mail for a special message! Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.

Enjoy this one Don't ever give in, if you do you've lost everything you've ever had and everything you hope to gain, but if you carry on your already winning. |

Welcome to the family! This is wonderful. I'm going to put it in my library and ask if you would be so kind as to allow us to use it in our next newsletter? Let me know!  |

Trillium~ Such crystal clear beauty in the Celtic Harp. One of my favorites is Patrick Ball's 'Castle Kelly', from his Fiona album. I was fortunate to catch him in performance and was captured by, not only his music, but his storytelling ability. What harmonious beauty. Thank you for this enchanting piece. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Greetings! I feel as if they have all beat me with what to say.... But this is what I think.. As you read your poem it is as if you can hear the music that has flowed for years. Also your words flow together beautifully! A very neat poem! Well done! ~*Peachy Be*~ |

Wonderfully written!! Perfect entrance to our family. Welcome!! Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

I've never heard the music of an Irish harp, but maybe it's something I should check out if it's as lovely as you say...  ~sky I hope someday you get the chance to live like you were dying.... |
