When the Earth Was Young

Smouldering charcoal smoke drifting Heady mead distilled from honey... Whethered white skin tropical sea Gleaming sun path on the water Rising up out of the ancient ocean Bronze sheild glinting in the light Celtic metalwork deep in the earth A hundred million years ago under the sea was the great sacred stone Ceremonial patterns of swirling line Druids little hamlet thatched roofs were bathed in the suns reddish light. Freshly baked bread crickets at night.
