Walking west towards the standing stones

Sun descends in blaze of golden light

Shadow fingers stretch and reach towards me

Cover me with cold and clammy grasp

Silent rocks imbued with power stand tall

They take the power of the dying light

Immutably remain among the cosmos

They rest against the universe’s might

Darkness falls around me as I reach them

I shiver in the onset of the night

But place my hands upon the stone and realise

This circle keeps me safe from shadow’s blight
