Leaving Tipperary behind

Leaving Tipperary behind 
the rolls of greenery industrial 
findings fields of yellow catering 
to my innermost calm I’d always 
remember my home in Mason 
thee unforgettable rebellion 
costly revolution the insurgents 
blocking broken roads rushing 
over cattle filled lands beholden 
to a quiet comfort so well hidden 
beneath the hillsides where 
Gaelic melodies sang out above 
the melancholy mountain tops 
tis behind me now morning glories 
bloom sparingly across wide open 
plains peeking between the wondering 
shadows of the beaming sunlight

What an incredible journey you've concocted here, Yolanda. A veritable kaleidoscope of images rushing at the reader pell-mell. Bravo! :) Gershon
