Old gods still linger here ...

This was the first sacred place on my pilgrimage - 

These tall pines touched an ancient sky -

I walk between the trees along a silent avenue - 

I can glimpse the shoulder of the hill -

The stones show themselves -

A lost people saw winter sunrises here -

Spirits live in the delicate altars of holly and flowers -

A sharp edged flint had been placed upon a mossy stone -

Token hang from tree branches -

Old gods still linger here -
