Cup and Ring

Cup and Ring

My rings made in a circle
were carved in summer warm
slowly gowing in the rock
while our child took form

so when you leave the heather
or go beyond the sea
the carvings carry memories
of how you came to me

We spent the summer in the hills
through calm and rain and gales
and as we lay together 
we dreamed a thousand tales

You left me in the winter
slain by raiders from the sea
but my rings of stone remember
that short summer we were free

this reads in a loving tone....aaahhha did the raiders have to take her...
really like this...i think it ended to soon ....like the last stanza takes her life ...but the rings of stone should have their own 4 line ending...just cause I like it*)
thank you for sharing and nice meeting you

Thanks Holly, well, it was originally a lot longer but I chopped a load out to make it into a wee folky song, but we never really played it much as a song. Hmm.....will try it again. I may even have the long version on an old simcard, will look. Thanks again for reading this!
