The Ancient Druid 2

Some years had passed while Balgar learn the druid ways now full of knowledge and ready to help those in need He set off on his travels following his instincts as he went first he came across a woman in despair she had a broken arm which he fixed and poured a healing balm to make it mend faster. Onward he travelled sharing his wisdom with those he met healing the sick and helping the mentally disturb as he passed seeking for what he did not know only that it would be invaluable in the end. He picked up a black opal, a blue feather and a strange pebble drawn to each in turn knowing when the time was right they would be of use far and wide he travelled helping many on his way then he felt a strange shiver and taking out the pebble which now lit up held in out and followed its light to a crevasse hidden away where there was a handle that he pulled opening a passage to a cave which glowed blue and placed the feather there nothing happened so he added the black opal and writing appeared with druid signs that he read telling him to head north then after a mile to the east where he would find his next task. He was told to study some more for it was needed to complete his training. Now middle aged he was a bit stooped and wizen and he started looking for someone to train in the druid ways. mean while he travelled on helping those in need as he passed added new potions and spells as he found them and looked around for suitable cave to lay up in for the next few years.

Dear Shadow, Your tale of Balgar's journey as an ancient druid is captivating and rich with imagery. How you describe his encounters with those in need and his quest for knowledge is truly engaging. I love Balgar's wisdom and willingness to help others shine through, making him a compelling protagonist. The elements of magic and mystery woven throughout add an enchanting layer to the story. I'm eager to see where Balgar's journey takes him next. - Blessings, Daniel

Your poem explores themes of knowledge, growth, and destiny. Balgar's quest for wisdom and his willingness to help others reflect the importance of learning and service in the pursuit of one's goals. The idea of following instincts and heeding signs underscores the theme of fate and guidance in Balgar's journey.

a lovely narrative poem. I enjoyed journeying with Balgar, the wizened Druid. I enjoyed your description of him.(Now middle-aged he was a bit stooped) I could visualize him so easily. I also liked the black opal and blue feather...such great images. Hope you're feeling better these past few days. Thinking of you, hugs & prayers, Sara
