Inspired by Davy Spillane's "A Place Among The Stones"...


 

Sunset has come
The day's work done
Warriors and Pilgrims
have laid down arms
Surrendered the drum
to the cold, silent ground

They have joined
the billions of stars-Stones
that bear the weight
of our existance
Gleaned from fields
and seas of foam
Stones of Destiny
that hold life's meaning
weightless in their Souls

Now they watch for fires
on the Hill of Tara
Now they wait
for the beat of the drum
and the roar of the lion

 

 

Linda Gayton (c) 2009

I love the poetry here--almost a hymn--in the warrior's
return from war, and the restlessnes of anticipating the
next battle. Beautifully written, Linda. -gene.
