The Clansman
by Sylvyrwyng on Nov 03 (bookmark) (print) (next)
allpoetry.com/poem/1608296

On the hill above the moor
A clansman silently stands
Patience etched in every line
As his prey decides

Tall and slender, willowy and strong
Brown hair flowing in the winds song
Muscles flex, the arrow flies
The meal brought down with nary a sigh

Tartan plaid with broadsword wide
As the stars shine in your eyes
Bring forth the warrior pride
Silent strength in every stride

You pay tribute to your catch
Honor the spirit help it pass
Using only what you need
Nature’s laws heeded

You lift your eyes to the heavens
Watching for guidance there
Wanting to know if there is more
Wishing you could leap and go

On the hill above the moor
A clansman silently stands
Patience etched in every line

Deep thoughts woven, words entwined
So many layers, or not
How much more for us to find
Deep thought woven, words entwined

Exquisite crafting by a poetic mind
Not left in a gutter to rot
Deep thoughts woven, words entwined
So many layers, or not

Thank you Susan. This was very kind.

When I am not writing you will find me
out on the archery range (coaching or shooting)
or teaching history, knotwork, kumihimo, stickweaving
with the SCA: Society for Creative Anacronism.
