Pagan Poetry - Songs of my Forebears
Image –by Shi-Nya-Nya The Songs
Were like Dust
In my Bones
Aching
Yearning to be released Blood stained fingertips
Becoming fingerprints
Along the edges
Of the Cave wall I bury my heart deep
Betwixt the hedgerow
A shadow of the Land
Beneath my feet I stomp
Out the remedy and the rhythm
To songs long forgotten
That reside
On the tip of our tongues These songs
Were like dust
Rising again from the bones
Swirling Rising on the winds
Of memory
And were tasted
R
