Isle of Arran, Sunday, 30th October 2022

… Was once part of a circle of nine,
and that must have been an impressive sight.
***
***
Debris from the former circle
lies strewn around the site of this
fella’s now lonely vigil, if fella it is?
***
***
The destruction is usually attributed to
treasure-hunters and many
of the lumps and bumps in the ground
are also thought to be the now buried remains
of some of the stones.
***
***
Human fear and greed,
then as now,
has a lot to answer for.
***
***
Maybe ‘Ghoul Stone’ is not right after all?
***
***
Maybe it should be ‘Jewel Stone’?
***
***
Whatever the name
it is custodian
of an immense, untapped power!
