Standing Ones ~ A Tale of Trees and Children

Standing Ones ~

a Tale of Trees and Children

In the great forgetting

a realm in the clouds

was believed to exist

that would replace

root and branch

and separate 

seed from chaff

where one would find

sweet holy bliss

all memory of deeds

done and undone

would be wiped clean

from living memory

and the great cutting

of Standing Ones began

to build a way to this 

holy cloud land

with each tree that fell

so too were the songs

of Earth's breath and lungs

so the old Standing Ones

sent messages written 

in the tone and tongue

of moonlight mists 

that disappear with the rising sun

few remembered how messages 

like this were made 

let alone the knowledge 

hidden within

the scent of flowers 

from unfurling seeds 

of mysterious gardens

that no one could see

waking from the sands of time 

when all that was done and un done

gathering children 

heard a mysterious sound

that flowed to the rhythm

of their heart stretched drums

and the mysterious gardens

all around them bloomed

these children 

are now known

as the People of the 

Standing Ones
