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.

Extravagant writing.

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

I thought so to :)

Very good and well written.
I have to say the line "a torrent of emotion" kind of disturbs the flow of the whole poem, but it just be me and my OCD of rhythm and flow.
On a positive note I really love the line "You are singular in the universal metropolis and centre of the all." love the imagery "universal metropolis" very nice. :)

Stone circles so mysterious. Your piece is described beautifully. They hold such a mysterious power. I love how these stone circles are located in various parts of our world and we have no idea what they were for, only speculations. Well written, keeping with their mysterious nature.

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

This stone circle at Castlerigg certainly has a power over me. Thanks

I would really love to read the first chapters of your debut novel John - once i get myself some time. I know this poem is a part of that. Having said that, I think this has a lot of standalone qualities.. I have been always fascinated by the myths and mysteries that surround the Stonehenge, but this poem touches upon so many other things - like the fact that our mortal lives are really immaterial in the vastness of the universe.. It talks about seclusion of life and the circle of continuity. I loved this. A great, powerful write

Thank you Arran I did write this as a standalone piece its not part of my story(although that is based on this circle).Its about the feelings I get when actually going there.
