heather & tweed

search all you like
    for spiritual things
but of this earth
    you are the heather & the tweed
            of your homeland.

you smell & smile
of the color of the place.
we hear it in your voice.
you feel it in your bones.

your dreams echo
    through the broadway hills
          between the earth sky
                  skip-dancing across the moors
         whirling barefoot through the heath
    cloak of moonlight
hair wild with moonbeams

             you stop only to kiss the ground
                   like the secret celtic priestess
                           that you are.
