On the trails of memories ruins.

Where my mind treads

Romans have walked before me

on cobblestone roads aligned,

but now the Celts

have invaded my thoughts

across grey stone fields

of the middle highlands.

United I am

in a kingdom

steeped in tradition

divided by change,

the combination forms

the alchemist in me.

I'm transformed

but not religious

I am Great Britain

a castle in ruins

and the beef steak pudding

is cooking on the oven.

An interesting take on the mother-country's demise as a great influence in the world . . . "a castle in ruin." Indeed GB is as divided as the US. Don't know much about Aussie-land . . . but I'm sure you've your own set of woes.

I think its a mess everywhere!

I really love this and it is true that ruins can represent metaphors and metaphors can represent fallen kingdoms and kingdoms waiting to be born.
