Dancing with a dream
amidst giant megaliths
two little spirited stones sing
take us to the bell tower,
listening to the hymn of the land
an offering of gratitude
"The way you think it is, may not
be the way it is at all"

Author's note: Over the summer, I spent an amazing day at Columcille Megalith Park located in the Appalachian Mountains. It was an honor for me to dance upon the land of a dreamer. At the end of the day, there were two small stones that caught my eye. I wanted to take them home with me but, I heard a whisper, a song, take us to the Bell Tower and that is what I did. To read more about the Bell Tower and the quoted line in the poem please visit here.
Thank you for visiting
Thank you Brendan for sharing your poetry and the land.
Nice! And isn't that so often true?
ReplyDeleteHi De, thanks for hosting and it is often true.
DeleteI like the idea of following the song of spirited stones, that the stones take you somewhere.
ReplyDeleteMe too! I was kind of imagining little stone fairies! :)

When I picked up the stones my palms warmed and I could feel their energy. I wanted to bring them home with me but, then came the song they had another place to belong.
DeleteStone fairies, might be as the land is full of mystical magic of sorts.
DeleteIsn't this place connected with Brendan, Truedessa? I'm getting chills up my spine about the spirited stones calling to you and asking to be taken to the bell tower.
ReplyDeleteYes, this is the land connected to Brendan, I took a couple of vacation days and traveled there as I had a calling in a dream.
DeleteNice one Trudessa
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by to read mine
Much💜love
Thank you Gillena
DeleteI wonder if your stones were inhabited by the people who built the megaliths? They wouldn't have had much time for Colmcille and his Christianity. Perhaps they wanted to make sure Oran's spirit never got out :)
ReplyDeleteThey were definitely emitting energy and when I placed them in the bell tower I could see two faces with a smile just has the sun peeked out of the clouds. It was the right thing to do in the moment. The stones belonged on the land.
DeleteThis sounds truly magical! I love that you visited this place, inspired by poetry.
ReplyDeleteIt was magical and inspired by Brendan’s poetry and the dance of a dreamer. I am honored to have heard the call of a dreamer to dance on the land of mystical dreams. I have written many poems about that which spoke to me that day. I hope to return in the spring.
DeleteWhat a beautiful memory!
ReplyDeleteIt was a mystical journey.
DeleteA lovely tribute to Columcille, which I have read so much about at Brendan's. I'm sure in places like that, one can feel the life of stones, and hear the dancing music of the earth.
ReplyDeleteThank you, yes one can definitely feel the stones and hear the songs of the earth. There is a connection to something greater than meets the eye. I had a dream that I needed to travel there and to bring honor to the dream. I set out on a road trip to new discoveries.
DeleteThat is always a consideration.
ReplyDeleteThat it is!
DeleteI love that the two stones spoke to you.....there were a few years when I was here in Tofino the first time, when I found heart-shaped rocks everywhere. Rocks speak to me, too. I really love this poem.
ReplyDeleteAll is connected with energy. I really wanted those two stones with their little faces but, I always respect the song of the land.
DeletePs I love heart shaped stones. It’s funny how these call to us in our journey, a sign for sure.
I love it, and the fantastic actually turned cute with those little stones who you brought to their proper place.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bjorn one of many fascinating moments there.
DeleteThis is a beautiful story and I love how the place, land and stones spoke & touched you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Grace it was enchanting
