Salisbury Plain

An elevated chalk platform
Further than my eyes
Can see in fact
How they react
Feeling the old ticker
Inside my chest today
History is everywhere
A generational way
Go back to neolithic times
When man did Labour long
Beneath the hills and rivers
Their bodies still belong

Stonehenge stands in solitude
It’s grandeur marvellously
Seven miles north of Salisbury
Not far from Amesbury
Roman earth works
The valley of Avon too
Undulating pastures
An uninteruoted view

The great Henge set in motion
Where no man liveth we
Come as messengers somewhat
The great antiquity
Emerges from the mists of time
From ridges high and low
Was it a Merlin who brought the stones
And left them here on show

Some are standing some prostrate
Some circular on plan
A careful deployment of the builders art
Cleverly hewn began
Some where else,
for nothing even similar can we
Find on Salisbury plain Dear friends
Which is a mystery

Amazing how they were arranged there
A Druids temple why
Also a kind of monument
To a series of killings high
Hengist killed 460 nobleman tis thought
And this structure was thus created
A lasting memory was
sought
