The Beckoning of Ossian's Cave
THE BECKONING OF OSSIAN’S CAVE
Sense the ancient Celtic rocky entrance beckon onward--
Heard the time-past warriors clink their ale-blown jests--
Willed my dwindling courage plunge me, blood soaked, to the doorway;
Breath spent--I leapt....
A Celtic myth claims that Ossian welcome's slain warriors & soldiers into an afterlife where they join slain warriors of all clans and times. (to see Ossian's Cave, check Wikipedia)
