Stonehenge

See shadows gently turning
Through countless nights and ceaseless days
Till once again returning

A blue and grey concentric maze
Enduring through the ages
Through countless nights and ceaseless days

Those now forgotten sages
Envisioned stones that still live on
Enduring through the ages

Though nations came, and now are gone
The men who stopped and pondered
Envisioned stones that still live on

Now only time has honoured
The days and seasons marked in time
The men who stopped and pondered

The moon and sun these sarcens climb
See shadows gently turning
The days and seasons marked in time
Till once again returning

AWESOME! I was lucky enough to visit Stonehenge last year and you have captured its magic and mystery perfectly. Terzanelle is one of my fave forms and you nailed it.
