Druid Stones


The stones stand
Like a circle of crones
Far out on the moor

Resembling witches
Short
Hunch backed
With cloaks down to the floor

As if a meeting
Once begun
Was frozen then in Time

They stand there
Silent

In the mist

In
Some
Fantastic
Mime

Forbidding and mysterious
Is one that towers above

One wonders
What it represents

Power?
Law?

Not
Love

No one knows
From whence they came

Nor what they stand there for

But pray their meeting

Now adjourned

Remains
So
Evermore

*sad sigh*

Dunno why that made me sad.....

Maybe it's the 'bumping off' of the Stones from the seven wonders list.

What's up with that?!

Didn't mean to make you sad Mel

Do you have stone circles over "there" (I mean your "here" of course)

Egal..

Sadly, not of the magnitude you have.......though I've no doubt they're somewhere and everywhere.

Amazing things, those stone circles.
