Look West to the men of stone,
He said.
Past the leaning sentinels
And then look farther still.
Your journey shall be long,
And more.
Far beyond the sunset hills
Across the sea of woe.
And once upon the farthest shore,
Trek on.
Farewell to the men of stone
And the stones of men.
Thanks to Poetry Thursday for the prompt and to Pip for a line from her poem "Go Walking"--the line is:
"Look West to the men of stone."

Fabulous photo - and a lovely poem to describe it!
Five hundred cheers for you for putting together such a tight little poem, and for the accompanying PERFECT picture!
This feels like a preface to an epic novel - wonderfully done!
I love that we chose each other's lines. I will have to return to your blog more often! When I read your poem I am reminded of the many journeyers there have been throughout the ages - and of both physical and spiritual journeys.
I agree with twighlight spider there, it would be a great preface to an epic novel!
A journey which starts with greeting and ends with farewell. This works forme.
I like the way you used Pip's line to open your poem and take us on an "archaeological" (stone) journey for PT. Nice rhythm, sound, and form.
I can't write even one poem:-(
I will Exercise for Comments!
