Upon life, death and rebirth

. . . I stoned the lord of death to death we lye, now, side by side as effigies of who we tried to be among countless revolutions among countless massacres evaporating into mixtures of all who passed that day, united beyond soils of new shoots I, a deserter I, a warrior I, a beggar I, a zealot with the lamb gathering stones . . .

the title drew me into your poem as did the words, so powerful! The ending was perfect. Well done, Clive. Have a splendid evening, Sara

Thank you Sara, I was pleased with the ending, gathering stones . . . to throw at death which is how it started, a circle, the cycle of life, death and rebirth! Thanks for your time

I a warrior, this has a very powerful voice to it and your words just flow freely in such a creative and soul hitting manner. Absolutely loved reading this: especially that opening line really drew me in. Sending you light always
