Silvered NecklaceA Poem by Donald Meikle
Oaken Necklace shorn to fold
Silver berries diced by long panned gold, light the way to days of old. Racial memories reawaked, twist and roll, as thirst is slaked with honey mead. The druid wakes To tell the elders what he's seen. This younger man with hair so white, Has slipped and slithered thru the night, That waits us all in mortal skein To watch the dragons and the stones now nothing more than buried bones. Though once they ruled, and once they flew, And others walked, when time was new. Now druids tell us things they know, From tiny shards of mistletoe, And chancy dreams awaked by bees. © 2009 Donald MeikleReviews
