Pondering poetic pans and fancies

Pondering poetic pans and fancies

A Poem by Donald Meikle

The Olde Druidic Elven Way 'for ever words were writ
The rhyme and rhythm helped us see 
The shape and taste and need indeed of apples yet unbit 
To help a man be what he is alone in all his glory 
To know what's right 
To use his right of individual freedom 
Is the well point of the story 
Painted words of admiration 
To hold the beauty of our life in constant view 
To help him see 
The shape and taste 
The need in deed of apples yet unbitten

Beautiful, you really create that temptous apple, Christain symbol of the demise and that denial of self somehow indicative of all the evil concepts in Christainity. Yet, there is affirmation in this, a celebration and nostaligia for pre-Christain times:

To help a man be what he is
alone in all his glory
to know what's right
and use his right
of individual freedom

this tells me about the faith in the essential goodness of pre Christians among Celts and that's in your genes, with this your explained to me the priests of the North and told me also the conclusion that we don't know everything! Not yet.
