Best Stonehenge Poems
StonehengeSee 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...

StonehengeAncient monument on the English Salisbury plain
Called Stonehenge by name.
Large tall megalithic blocks
On a plain that has no rocks.
Myths and legends surround the stones
Dozen of theories, yet still unknown.
An observatory, calendar or clock
No one knows the mystery of these big rocks
Tracking the stars or...

Secrets of StonehengeIn Wiltshire the stone circle lays
It looks to the endless visage of the skies
Above it peregrine falcon flies
At night owl gives its bone chilling cries
N o one knows what truly is the purpose of those stones?
One day they found there skeleton full...

Stones
piled high
twelve laid by
on Jordan’s shore.
When wand’ring youth ask why –
“What are these heavy boulders for?”
Trustworthy parents, help them to explore
the river bank and crossing where My might was shown.
Let them know why the priests marched in before
the water wall started to soar.
Tell them...

The Haunting Mystery of StonehengeTHE HAUNTING MYSTERY OF STONEHENGE
It’s a prehistoric landmark,
built five thousand years ago,
who actually constructed it,
we still don’t really know.
Standing near Salisbury, England
on the dusty northern plain,
the reason for its existence,
no-body can explain.
The bigger stones called “sarsens”
are thirty two feet tall,
each weigh twenty two cubic tons ...

Georgia's New Age StonehengeI've never seen them before,
but know they're in Elbert County, Georgia
put there by a mysterious man
by the name of R.C. Christian,
who put them on display
in dixieland, 1980 circa,
They have 10 new age rules,
which are occultic in my view,
stating that he is a tree hugger,
and wants...

Stonehenge (For Huitzilopochtli))Four thousand years ago the Celt
Raised a ring of rocks around
Patterns on the English ground.
And there the Druid maidens felt
Bronze-age daggers at the heart,
Hacking, hewing them apart.
Then the pagan priests began
Chanting prayers and splashing red
Till the glutton gods were fed.
And thus the rituals of mere...

Stonehenge of StarsStonehenge creation
Its generation
Was it because need to know sun has risen
Or to know what is beyond spiritual horizon
What makes Stonehenge sublime?
It is that it lasted such a long time
And reason why it was build in its prime
Forever will echo in time
But there is something...

Stonehenge RevisitedWhen the stones do sing
And wrap us in their strong embrace
Then the inner being binding our cosmos
Reflects the sacrality of such communion
We are one,though many
Fused in togetherness
Individually cleansed
Sharing our common consciousness
Denied in everyday traffic
Where ego trumps our better natures
Drowning out the sound of silence
Within which...

Winter SolsticeAt Stonehenge poised for morn in deepest darkness,
We beckon Lady Ceridwen, our Goddess Crone,
And mark Samhain’s quiet constant stillness,
To death in Yule we walk with magic to the stone.
Dark mother, wise one, heal us in the underworld,
Where the winter souls find rebirth in breaking sun.
It...
