pic by dlfreund ~ Limestone Carvings
Like a frozen waiting game
Whitening expectancy ~
The prologue of dialogue
~
Stonehenge echoes
Longing for the sun or the moonlight
To make some sense of it all
~
But 4000 year old Callanish standing stones
On Lewis in the West Hebrides
Could be older links to
Celtic mysteries
~
Does that mean a closer connection
To the why
And the when?
~
Or can we only finger
Limestone icons ~
Turning them listlessly
In ignorant palms ~
And hope
The next chess move
Is the right one

oh that last stanza is a kicker!!!!
And hope
The next chess move
Is the right one
and this line i fear is ever so much closer to the truth than we would ever want to believe....
Your poem is perfect; loved that ending. You sure know how to make an entrance. I have a feeling you will fit in nicely. Welcome to Poefusion. Hope to see you and your talent around again soon. Have a nice night.
i like the specualtion on history and time. You do a great job of creating mystery, and also asking basic human questions that we can never seem to answer.
I like the questioning tone of this....more like reflecting.
Cross out old memories
loved the way it traveled through time in the palm of our hands...
