Looking out Burns' window - v3

Touching the poet, emotion erupting,
standing in the room where he was born
looking out Burns' window,
the village, his hometown,
In the land of my ancestors.
 
Touching his presence, power,
in the room where he grew up,
feeling kinship, connection,
at the beginning, poetry,
here, words entering my life.
