The Ancient Stone Wall

The Ancient Stone Wall Green fields going on forever Traveled by Romans, Celts and Brits alike They each left their marks before they left Walls built ages ago still stand Made of rocks dug by hand Carried by slaves taken from conquered peoples Thousands of them stacked one by one Each one a piece of art on its own Covered by dull green moss Ferns grow in their narrow cracks They go on for countless miles No one really knows who made them Their names were lost to history Still they are remembered Their legacy remains in an ancient stone wall Rocks placed with their sweat and blood A timeless memorial to their spirit Something that says the they were there
