It's not that I am going away from AuthorsDen...its that I am going away on vacation to my ancestral land! ;)
On vacation, I think I will go...
far away from the ice and snow.
Someplace magical and full of fun...
someplace that has rain and sun.
Ireland is my place of choice...
riding around in a Rolls Royce...
or maybe just hiking about...
drinking in a pub a glass of stout.
Maybe I will search a castle or keep...
and go miles and miles before I sleep!
Regardless of what I do or say...
Ireland is where, on vacation, I will stay.
Misty valleys of magical conditions...
Tall hills made of fairy constructions...
Green acres of ancient soil...
echoing with tales of Irish toil.
Wars and campaigns fought on the land...
tell of the blood that ran.
This is the land of my ancestral birth...
this is the land that measured our worth.
This is my soul's true home...
and in my heart, I will forever roam
Ireland's hills,valleys and shores
as these will open up my soul's closed doors.
Ancient memories will flood back into being...
and give me the sense of ancestral seeing.
Yes, this vacation, I have been awaiting a long time...
Which is why I haven't been posting a word or a rhyme.
So, all those who read my silly and my serious writes...
I will get back to it after I go to the land of delights.
;) I am going to Ireland for my birthday (May 20th...WooHoo!!!)...and will be back at the end of this month. Sorry,I haven't been posting (or reading)much lately...I have been busy planning the trip with my hubby!

PS...this picture was taken by my husband,Mike, when he went to Ireland several years ago (before I was in the picture). If you would like to see more of his photography, I have a link on my page here at AuthorsDen with his writings and photography on it. ;)

This is just beautiful, do enjoy your trip to the fullest. You are very lucky!!
All the best Sage
Oh my god, you are so lucky, Silver!!! If you run into any Kelly's, and I'm sure you will, tell them an Americanized Kelly descendent wishes them long life and harmonious greetings!! When I was working for a plant care-taking business for various banks, churches, etc. in Albuquerque, a gentleman from a bank was going on vacation over there, on Erin's Isle. I asked if he could bring me a rock from Ireland, and he brought me a small one from the Giants Causeway in County Antrim. I was so thrilled! :D Have a terrific time, dance a few jigs, chase some leprachauns and find their pots of gold, toast a few pints to Irish kisses, and breath in the history, people and country side! Safe journey, Celtic Moon, and don't forget to purify and bless your Silver jewelry in the light of a full Irish moon! :)

Oh this is sooooo lovely. My father-in-law came from Ireland too, even though my husband was born here in Canada. I've often liked to go there for a visit.
This pic is sooo lovely, and you have painted a beautiful picture with your words.
A naïve councilman and a down-on-her-luck single mom try to save their county’s last stand of forest from greedy developers and a dysfunctional government.
