Dinas Bran

Dinas Bran

tell your tales 
share them with me
I have travelled far to listen

your walls remaining 
huddle forward like greyed old men
around a warming fire

let me sit quiet as the night
in your moon shaped shadow 
and dream as you do

walk across my thirsty mind
flagons filled with stories
I will not fear your ghosts
they just want to be heard.

You did indeed do justice to Dinas Bran, Patricia! Situated not far from the Horseshoe pass it overlooks the town of Llangollen in Denbighshire. Fantastic description! :) john

Beautiful. Flagons filled with stories for your thirsty mind. Wonderful words from your ever-busy imagination, Patricia.

I would like to be there and really get a feeling for the place. I did it all from imagination, I hope it hit the mark. Thank you I am working on another piece presently.
