What once was ours

Saxon Crow

What once was ours

Can be found again

The forgotten, remembered.

The old ways returned

What once was natural 

Like the seasons come and go

Just watch the horizon

The trees and the birds

What Gods lay there dormant

Can be woken again

The cave in our hearts

Will echo their names

What senses we had 

Can be sharpened in time

The language of instinct

Honed to the woodpeckers chime

What once made us human

Calls every single day

And to live without it

Drives our spirit away

What once we discovered

Is a truth of this world

We all are connected

And are forever reborn

  • orchidee

    Good write SC.
    I'm hearing that woodpecker - and crow?!

    • Saxon Crow

      Have you heard a crow? Raucous, noisey and full of mischief!

      • orchidee

        They're a lovely size though, and shiny black coats.

      • chella

        We are all connected (reminds me of Manifest). Love it.

      • dusk arising

        Great words of rebirth in this our wicked world.

      • L. B. Mek

        even devoid of any theological alignment
        I relate to the positivity in your theme
        let us hope
        a day will be realised, when such ideal's
        can breach our reality
        and offer us, a tangible path
        towards
        consideration and equality
        for all, in our beautifully diverse
        humanity..
        thanks for sharing, dear poet

        Great write Sax. If only those with selective hearing would really listen.
