This poem was inspired by feelings raised by a post by iliana and in its raw form was first posted as a reply to her excellent poetry. Ancient Ways To walk with knowledge born of whole begat of ageless power of soul from times when stories made of man destroyed the ones where power ran. In name of church and fear of earth inquisitors killed all who's birth carried on the ways of old and threatened church's lust for gold. There now remains all but a few who's birthright lets old ways shine through, I know I've met them, felt their pain as in past lives I've died again. 'Tis true that evil scours the earth, but of man's greed, and not of birth. I pledge my knowledge to the light and hope one day earth wins the fight. Ivor G Davies The moment created this second, is a moment that's going to last. It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past. |

Anyone of Celtic ancestry; environmentalists; 'natural philosophers'; and advocates of 'right living' (secular humanistic "knightly" behavior) free of any particular dogma [such as my self]...should find much to applaud (and concur with) in this 'write'! I enjoyed this 'read'!! |
