from childhood
pondering
its aloofness
and origins
scarcely setting
a foot upon its
grassy mounds
as a shadow
it lingers like
a birth mark
in my memory
pointing to the
ancient origins
of my people

I think you're excellent, Liam..........and i anticipate seeing what unfolds in your verses. This has such depth to it. The title gives way to the concept. Origin, development/evolvement. Societal ancestry. a shadow like a birthmark. so simple, so linking and encompassing. keep on, xxsjg
