Circle of Stones

Circle of Stones Pale sun behind gossamer clouds Morning light fused  in sleepy silver grey shrouding ancient stones in a cloak of mystery A pathway defining entry to a sacred site harboring history of centuries past Enticing, beckoning those who would surrender and dare to dance     Christine Bolton – Poetry for Healing ©Continue reading “Circle of Stones”
