Collection of words to put in a letter?
a narration of lines that remains unfettered.
cancerous thoughts that demons bate us for
saintly rites for virgin souls to dedicate.

Some have walked the deserts sands for years
banished with those thoughts and rites that scathe
under rocks they dug for sepulchered fossil records
restless spirits would leave scraps for bate.

Fossil records that scratched and scathed
narrated texts buried in a dreary heathen maze,
words collected that once bound are unfettered
saintly rites for virgin eyes to spy in letters

Banished from modern towns and into fossil records
under rocks of desert sands lie sifted
restless spirits abound in hot heathen mazes.
words from symbols in buried scripts amazes....

thanks for reading Silver,

this one is actually inspired by the news of meter long jellyfiesh fossils found in Wisconsin state, dated bask to the Cambrium period. They were washed ashore in bulk! I wonder why.

Superb job as usual, Martin
I think fossils are so amazing because they actually contain the world's natural history within them.

Madame Chip,

Oh my gosh away with the skeleton hand!!lol!
I was intrigued by the an ancient script found at the end of the Arabian peninsula, in Yemen

Thankyou strbbux,

There is a lot for all of us to learn if we
could just stop burying the past!I'm referring to family squabbles too
