The Tongue of Ancients

Though words are far.
In the tongue of ancients,
Here shall I abide in love.
I sing...

The Glory of Ancients
the birth of an infant
the ancient kingdom celebrates
gentle gift of life

man moved ahead
kingdom no more survived
families break up

new nuclear family
birth and death forever here
just seem to pass by

when death knocks on the door
realisation slides in
of the glory of ancients...

We Are the Ancients
The Fermi Paradox: Where is everyone?
The Universe is nearly 14 billion years old say those in the know.
Enough time to populate our galaxy they say!
But is this really so?
The elements in our bodies were created in the stars,
blasted into space when they died and exploded.
How...

A Cue From Ancients of Days
Look up to the sky
take a look at the boldness of the sun
behold the brightness of the stars
they hold no grudges
they come, they shine
for you, for me:
caucasian, black or orientals

Look up at the sky
See the beauty of the moon
it illuminates prison as well palace
they no...

The Nihilist - Two: a Prayer To the Ancients
Knee-bones sunk in wet twilight soil,
  Welded hands in pagan prayer,
Stones sacrificial once draped in blood
  And ghosts of what was slaughtered there.
Hear the beseeching winds of time
  Carry the words from lips a-trembling,
Usher the arcane dichotomy aloft,
  Ciphers of thought...

Premium Member Amazing Ancients
Are we really disputing beliefs of the past
Evolution makes us think we have surpassed
Basic skills back then
We surely do transcend
But their abilities were amazing and really vast...

Disrobing the Flesh of Ancients
Disrobing the flesh of ancients
In a continuous hot pursuit

A growing embryo
Spreading into the ether
The ionized atmosphere 
With contant cosmic outpouring 

The last tenet
Of man's unbridled elite
Casting his instruments
Proding stardust for clues
Yet all analysis recedes
When a grand synthesis sweeps
A human life course
Forever resonating with the truth...

The Ancients
It's my last day with the old giants
 In mourning I hike the lost trails,
 sniffing the aroma of the bark,
 that cinnamon of the forest
 Under tepees of wood
 in a membrane of shadows,
 I stalk the earth, its mammal traces,
 its elusive tracks,

There  was work to be done by those who...

Reflecting on Stonehenge
Ancient mysteries
Neolithic man left behind
Their enlightened thought suggests
heaven and earth are twin powers
harnessed through astronomy 
Standing stones silent witness.

Sunrise, sunset, and solstice
Natural chronometer 
heaven's perpetual pulse
Celebrations long since dead
Echoes muted
Excavations ongoing
hypothesis abounding.

Abiding mystery
What drove this undertaking?
How was knowledge obtained?
Science of astronomy
was remote truth...
