Where my heart lies...

Ireland I am coming home
I can see your rolling fields of green
And fences made of stone
             ~ Garth Brooks 

Petergate, with a view of York Minster, York, UK photo by Tess Kincaid

Unknown…yet familiar,
we walked the cobblestone streets—
jaws dropped agape into
“Pinch me, am I really here?”
position

Were we actually on foreign soil,
or had we finally found our way
‘home’

  3. Love it! I have those feelings having lived in San Francisco and the Bay Area (and always seeing it in photos) but it isn't the UK with the history! I have been invited to visit some friends there this summer.

  5. At times, in the unknown we get the best of peace. A place, never visited, suddenly embraces with open arms....Beautiful!
