When the Earth Was Young
Smouldering charcoal smoke drifting
Heady mead distilled from honey...
Whethered white skin tropical sea
Gleaming sun path on the water
Rising up out of the ancient ocean
Bronze sheild glinting in the light
Celtic metalwork deep in the earth
A hundred million years ago under
the sea was the great sacred stone
Ceremonial patterns of swirling line
Druids little hamlet thatched roofs
were bathed in the suns reddish light.
Freshly baked bread crickets at night.
