Mystic Circle of Stones

tall solid majestic stones
standing dark against the sky
silent lonely cold and ancient
revealing history to the eye

these old columns of stones
full of intrigue and wonder
rituals performed through years
are now left here to plunder

with these lonely textured stones
that have changed through the seasons
eerie, old and formidable
using this place for good reasons

winter or summer equinox
watching the sun light up the morn
holy men performing their rituals
head dresses and icons adorn

the suns rays stream across the stones
thus creating long dark shadows
throughout these tall majestic stones
surrounded with many green meadows

nowadays these weather worn stones
that have stood the test of many years
lay slightly discarded through decay
yet always inspire, and can stir the tears!!
