Midnight beats down upon the weary wanderer
As he crosses loud rivers and silent dell
Only the moon to guide him, faith to remind him
Of spoken vows and sacred quest he made

To mysterious place of ancient race
He seeks an object of cold stone and Earth
Set apart from others just like itself
Upon a lonely hilltop shrouded in strangling weeds

Sweat pours down the brow of the weary wanderer
As he toils up the ageless, broken land
Of silence, darkness, and death
Atop the hill he gazes down
At rows of stones for miles around

Then he beholds the single massive one,
It looms over him, stone and Earth
The weary wanderer deciphers cryptic runes
Upon its face is written his name
And everyone else’s too;
Heralding that which patiently lies

Below stone and Earth

Wow your imaginative poem has really had an impact on me. I can't believe no one has commented on this yet.
Some fantastic lines and a wonderful spiritual feel.

The end line is very powerful.

WELL DONE !!
Hugely enjoyed by me.

PKreturns: This has an "other-worldy" feeling to it. Enjoyed the read.
