Shadows Circling

Gone

They’re all gone
the people who were here
before
scattered remnants of their lives
exposed
whispering to me
chanting stories of the past
the hunt, the kill
the fight, all of it
it these parched flatlands
covered over, left behind
tangled brush and crackled 
sandy dirt
shadows circling, sweeping ground
 sentries’ watching overhead

Who were you
the flake of flint
 I held
clues you left
behind
for me
 to hold
whispering to me, and
I
whispered back, knowing
you can hear me
I know

I experienced that same feeling when stepping onto the Hill of Tara in Ireland..the ancients whispering, breaking their long silence. It's eerie...great write...

This is wonderful...the style, the imagery.
Reviewed by Charlie 4/29/2008
This is quiet-- reflective beauty... Maybe there are aura scents that never really disappear... and spiritual dogs that read them. Or, for one day, to turn to stone, and to give voice to the rocks that have been there a little longer than forever-- I'd love to be there to memorize their stories... yet, with the ents taking a day to say a few paragraphs, and them being alive and all-- I wonder how long it'd take those boulders to say "hello"... just wondering --Charlie

Reviewed by Felix Perry 4/29/2008
I could almost feel the same feeling of wonder lust as I read this. To stand anywhere on this planet and hold and feel relics of life that was hundreds of years before us is facinating to say the very least.

Haunting - the ghosts of the past linger in these lines - well done, Stan.

(((HUGS))) and love, karla.

everything a shadowland. . .
reading the nuances and the nooks and crannies of where not only you have been, but you you may already have been, thus the shadow may be your own. .. .
whispering to, me/chanting stories of the past
sentries [centuries]
the flake of flint I held [you are he]
even you say 'I whispereed back'. ... whispers upon whisperers. ..
mon dieu. .. . enchanted beauty.

Wonderful, Stan. I love the writing style, the content, and--I wish
I had written it. Gene (who once lived on the banks of the Ohio)

I can see and feel the ghost of the land...Great read
Reviewed by Cryssa C 4/29/2008
You are a master of imagery! I can see you standing there...a piece of flint in your hand as you slowly shake your head...looking up and searching, searching the sky...and wishing they were there.
