Castle of Old
My hands touch the ruins of the castle stones of old
The wind blows back the time when these bones were bare and cold
To a place where the Celts lived and dragons used to roam
Where the magic of a land was once a place called home
A Wiccan girl in ragged clothes did stand the test of power
As she stood there praying silently to the heavens in the tower
For Banners flew and warriors cried as battle did commence
And the Castle walls did crumble absorbing her lament
A Knight so bold Did race to find his love
He heard but a prayer held on the wind, echo from above
The cry now echoed across the land, as the wind did touch the stone
The Wiccan girl on spiral rides the Dragons back on home.
“I gave my heart, I give my life, and in these walls I stay
And one day soon in futures Dawn A maiden will pass my way
And when she touches these stones of old, my story she will tell
Of a time when a Wiccan Girl weaved her magic spell.”
© Sue Dreamwalker the poem I first wrote in 2011–2019
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And upon a sunny day in the future she came to spy
A empty stock against a wall she heard the ‘wiccan’ cry
As Husband took a snap, she found herself locked tight
She was glad there were no rotten eggs or cabbages in flight
The Wiccan girl knew she’d touched a memory raw
As all who passed did smile as the Wiccan laughed some more.
~~~
I hope you enjoyed the smiles of me in the stocks, on our recent holiday in Wales. More photos of our travels and the allotment can be found HERE
My computer goes for a wellness check tomorrow, so I may not get straight back to moderate comments. I only have a handful of people left to catch back up with since my holidays who have kindly commented on my last few posts. In the mean time have a wonderful rest of the week.
Be good to each other Love and Blessings 💕💖💕

You have a gift of storytelling through poetic prose, my friend. I loved reading about the events that could have transpired so long ago. It is quite jarring to be in the presence of places like that, that are so old and carry so many memories. I remember feeling that way when I was in Segovia in Spain. The ancient aqueducts made me pause, almost as if to take in the ancient voices and all the events of history that occurred in the millennia since they were erected. It’s a slightly different feeling when I’m in the southwestern part of the US – to feel that history of where ancients once roamed – their voices are softer because those areas fell out of use after that. I still feel it, but it lacks the “heaviness” that other old places have that still remain in use. It’s a lighter feeling, almost as if the history wants to be told, but with a gentler energy. It’s still just as moving and striking nonetheless.
It looks like it was a fun trip! As for me, I’ve been working on my mandalas more and more, glad for the time I have carved out. 🙂

Aww so sorry you are suffering from all the rain, not nice.. So many have had property flooded and to see your hardwork wrecked must be heartbreaking Wolfie..
Thank you for having that confidence in us lol… But I am all decorated out!… And hubby said to me, that is the last decorate WE do… lol… And my knees have just about recovered from kneeling to paint all the woodwork in the house.. 🙂
Love and Hugs and I so hope you get your damp and water problem sorted… Sending love and hugs along with well wishes Wolfie ❤

You dear Miriam are a Gem!… And you also must have been reading my mind, as I had been thinking of you, and feeling I had neglected you, as you were one of the handful I had still not got around to visiting.. Though I have read a few posts on your blog via my phone app this week, I wanted to wait until I was on my computer again, as I tend to leave longer comments that I fail to do justice to via the phone app.
Loved your article published on the travel magazine you write for..
We’ve been full on decorating our home, and just not had time for my blog or the internet..
So pleased you enjoyed the poetry 🙂 Miriam 🙂 Look forward for a long catch up, I am sure I have plenty of reading to catch up on down under 🙂 ❤

It does and while I missed my friends here in blog land, I really didn’t miss the internet, or news or TV.. Sometimes I wonder if we just get overloaded and bogged down with too much at times.. ( not the hard work of decorating ) but we just need space to BE… I am finding I need that space more and more as we ‘Shift and align.’ I know you understand that feeling too Miriam..

Oh Ronnie, you do not know what that huge compliment means to me .. I am guilty of not getting around to everyone I follow and have neglected your site for too long.
I have had lots to think about this year, and on several occasions I have thought of no longer blogging and just when that thought occurs again some one comes along to tell me, as you have today, this early morning, that my words help .
I can only think you were divinely guided this morning Ronnie, So THANK YOU..
And I hope your sleep pattern improves.. I will add you to my healing book of energy prayers.. Thoughts are living energy and I so believe in the power of healing when we are surrounded in our own and others positive vibrations..
Many thanks for being a SIGN to me this day Ronnie.. You have no idea what it means to me.. As I have been pondering so much this last week to just slip into my own personal world… ❤ Special Hugs to you Ronnie ❤
