Cries through time

[Darach]

---Cries Through Time---

Through the veil of time ,I have heard myself cry.
Peering through the veil , I have seen myself die.
Wounds of old felt in new bones.
I shall be as a bluestar, so the old song goes.
From a seed sown in an oak grove.
I've grown flesh and bone, and returned to stone.
Reborn in a land that is not my home.
I long for the forest that i once roamed .
Oh my dear friends, where have you gone?
Closing my eyes i can hear the songs,
and see men speak words to call the storms.
I have seen our glory and our demise.
O has thou heard my cries through time?

I liked your poem, Darach. Especially the way you phrased "I've grown flesh and bone, and returned to stone" and "wounds of old felt in new bones"
Sounds like you feel a bit out of your element. Are you drawn to another place?

[Darach]

Thank you Naleena, out of my element? yes....lol. Definitley drawn to another place as well , and thank you again for the kind words on my poem , almost didn't post it because it is more on the personal side..... Blessings

As someone living away from their home-country (and feeling the homesickness) I can very much relate to your poem, and to 'better times'. Am I correct in guessing that when you wrote this, you were feeling a sense of isolation?

'Oh my firends, where have you gone?
Closing my eyes I can hear the songs...'

[Darach]

Thank you Hairy Woman , i tend to ramble even when asked a simple question so i will try to keep this short..lol . To answer your question , i was really connecting with and remembering a certain time frame and event at the time and i had just started writing before i knew i was writing..lol and in writing those particular lines i was feeling many emotions and yes isolation was definitley felt for a time there..lol Blessings /I\

It's the personal ones that are always the best I feel like you in a way. I long to be in the UK again. The first time I was in the Highlands of Scotland, I felt like I had returned home. BB

I hear you there Naleena, the scottish highlands are definitley on my list of places to go . I used to read and I would put the movie Braveheart on in the background , just for the ambience....lol BB
