Celtic Wanderlust!

Spiritual Wanderlust!

There is within the Celtic Spirit

A need to wander and explore 

In far away lands.

While also longing for hearth and home.

We are betimes a sorrowful lot.

Lamenting life's little losses 

And large ones too.

Then sing and dance and play a tune

Raise the spirits within, without.

What a Spirituality are we!

We wander far sailing the tastes

Of all the world's religions

So drawn to God are we of any stripe and all.

Within the same heart there beats

The strict adherence to our Faith

Once given,

Signed, sealed, delivered.

One within the same are we

Demanding orthodoxy

Bordering on heresy.

And I delight in the inconsistency

The hobgoblin of my heart1
