Stone Circle Mystery

My new poem "Stone Circle Mystery". John Phoenix Hutchinson (C)2012 You are standing at the heart of an ancient mystical stone circle.

 Stone Circle Mystery.   


Time has no implication, no symbolization here.

Within the circle of the standing stones, you are immune.

 Body engaged, entwined with the earth, held captivated.

Standing more like a statue, than the stones themselves.

In this captured space the significance of spirit soars.

Mystical magnificence invigorates, motivates the soul.

You are singular in the universal metropolis and centre of the all.

The solar and lunar tides sweep over you, a torrent of emotion.

Lost in a flood of sensation, elated passion for life.

Overwhelmed by the vast domain of never ending space.

Your heart is renewed and you enter heavenly innocence.

The solar and lunar tides sweep over you, a torrent of emotion.
Lost in a flood of sensation, elated passion for life.
Overwhelmed by the vast domain of never ending space.
Your heart is renewed and you enter heavenly innocence.

Enjoyed John...I haven't read you in a while...lovely and soulful poem of rejuvenation in the circle where mind body and spirit reunite...Loved the photo as it reminds me of a Native American reservation with smoke signals in the heavens...Rose:)

Strong spirituality of place captured in your lines here. We can but guess at how the originals viewed life because we know too much now and this gets in the way.

I think such places have much to teach us still though becuause they offer a connection to lost ways. We create bursting cities and building like the Shard now, but we have lost much and forgotten important things. Perhaps a poet can help us to reconnect. I think this is more important than we know because the way of the cities is unnatural. There is more to be learnt from the stone circle than the Shard.

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

You so right we can learn so much about the lost ways.......

My mind just had an ORGASM!! I imagined myself standing there....and the powerful emotions you describe sweeping over me.

John OMG! This is right up there with your "Embracing Father" and "Her Perfect Breasts" Look at all the wonderful reviews.

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

Orgasm is such a fun word!

[lothlorienwriter]

Stunning visuals and we get a true insight into the feeling of power this stone circle creates within you.

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

Yes Castlerigg is particularity "powerful".....compared to all the other I have visited

[TLK]

Small typo in the last line: "you heart".

I would also argue that the comma in line four is unnecessary and harms the reading of the poem.

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

Cheers TLK
