   For Irish
I hope everyone has a nice day. Irish, I found this in a book that I am reading and thought you might like to read it so here goes...

"Going Wodwo" by Neil Gaiman

SHEDDING MY SHIRT, my book, my coat, my life,
Leaving them, empty husks and fallen leaves,
Going in search of food and for a spring
Of sweet water.

I'll find a tree as wide as ten fat man,
Clear water rilling over its grey roots.
Berries I'll find, and crab apples and nuts,
And call it home.

I'll tell the wind my name, and no one else.
True madness takes or leaves us in the wood
halfway through all our lives. My skin will be my face now.

I must be nuts. Sense left with shoes and house, my guts are cramped. I'll stumble through the green back to my roots, and leaves, and thorns, and buds, and shiver.

I'll leave the way of words to walk the wood.
I'll be the forest's man, and greet the sun,
And feel the silence blossom on my tongue like language.

That was from "The Green Man Tales from the Mythic Forest" edited by Ellen Datlow & Terri Windling. Decorations by Charles Vess.

It is a very good book! Hope I brightened your day, Irish. Ta ta
