Druidic Ruminations

Druidic Ruminations (still dancing shadows) Deceptively feminine mannerisms Lures to wile the unwary Long haired unread horsemen Spending Summer into Fall Reciting words in rhythmic fashion Inciting feelings of quick passion From a chieftain and a druid unforgotten Dead and living in them all Poetry older than writing to initiates inviting To veterans of living simple need Word for word and each symbolic Of a Way and with a reason seeming right There’s a time to stand and fight Precious time spent teaching love is kind To approach the coming night But living without reason from season into season Is not a way remembered so we die alike dismembered Rotten and forgotten out of sight and out of mind Justice swings a sword unswerving we are all of us deserving Honor is the shield deflecting shining and reflecting The joy of life for anyone to find And hold if they be bold for though the way is old It is yet well trodden path to sunset sea Ever beckon wondrous waves of feeling And songbirds yet warble it in sylvan woods To they who listen well as they spend their Precious time
