Overthrown

Passing clouds, thin veil unbroken
Drifting on the ocean
Beneath the standing stones

Fleeting day unravels, unfolds
The sun reveals with gold
A fortress overthrown

Henge and hillfort
Mound and tower
Overthrown by grass and flower

Shadows shift through chalk stream and vale
Orchids trim the ancient trail
To crumbling spire

Henge and hillfort
Mound and tower
Overthrown by grass and flower

Wild fields grown in rough hues of brown
Patchwork drapes the barrow downs
A quilt bestowed on time

Henge and hillfort
Mound and tower
Overthrown by grass and flower

Henge and hillfort (fleeting day)
Mound and tower (unravels, unfolds)
Overthrown by grass and flower (The sun reveals with gold)
A fortress overthrown

Fleeting day unravels, unfolds
