Ancient Stones

Anyone who’s been close to ancient stones
Knows that there are memories there just like in human bone
Once erected by human hand
They seem to posess a quality hard to understand
.
Whether Cuzco, Stonehenge or Pompeii
The echoing stones seem to say
They tell us of times both epic and mundane
The diary of man in his earthly domain
.
Mystery hides deep inside of these rocks
Science cannot feel it like we can
But it can read carbon like we read clocks
But it takes us to feel the man
.
Every cell has memory and the need to pass it on
Instinct based upon memory is real
The message received not always can be relied upon
But there’s still unmistakeable feel
.
Caves too have echoes of spirits passed
Where countless scenes were enacted
From man’s first minutes to the very last
In stone, centuries seem contracted
