Mining For Gold
Successful digs are all they crave.
An axe, a gem, a shepherds stave.
A skeletal grave; a historic page.
Roman, mesolithic or the Bronze Age.
Neolithic art; monuments of old,
uncover a roundhouse, mining for gold.
Phosphates in the soil; pollens in the mud,
evidence of nature and a Hazel wood.
Stone laid Cairns leading to a tor.
Religious cults on Bodmin moor?
Digging a trench, archaeologists' dream
of turning the sub-lime to reach the supreme.
