The Inner and the Outer hold a key to secrets sought
Through maze of alleys leading to the circled temple court,
Where wingéd horse lends flight to feet and horses carry two,
And sleeping knights bear witness to a wisdom found anew.
What stories do the faces see, what stories could they tell?
Of knights whose sought enlightenment and death through living hell?
Within the oldest temple, where an older faith was hailed,
Sophia from Baphomet ever more her faced unveiled.
Now disembodied heads watch over age-old secrets found
And keys are hidden in plain sight to knowledge underground.

About the Book
Ben, fast becoming a folk hero after the apparent theft of a standing stone, now languishes in Bakewell Gaol. Don and Wen, suspected of being his accomplices, are on holiday… or ‘on the run’ if Bark Jaw Dark and PC 963 Kraas, hot in pursuit, are to be believed. From England to Scotland, the officers of the Law have followed the trail of the erratic couple as they visited the ancient sites of Albion. This time, though, as Don and Wen take the slow boat to Ireland, Kraas and Jaw Dark are one step ahead. But Ireland is a land of mystery and magic where reality is intertwined with vision and standing stones are still open doors… How long can Don and Wen continue to evade the long arm of the Law? In the shadows, a labyrinth of secrecy shrouds a mysterious figure. What is Montgomery’s interest in a small standing stone? Just how many high-level strings can he pull… and why? And what is the dark, winged creature that is now on the loose? Join Don and Wen as they continue their adventures in the sacred and magical landscape of Albion.

Beautiful piece. A current of Gnosticism if I read it right.

This location has a certain feeling of foreboding, but it may be just me. I am not well, so everything seems foreboding to me right now.
