Lost in the Waves
Sacred or special, the alloy made with Ross Island copper, the strongest of ores,
Mixed with Cornwall tin, made the best Bronze of the Age.
Transported from the shores of the Head of the Sea to the wide-known world,
These treasures have no record inscribed upon a vellum page.
The axes, spearheads and knives, or magnificent swords,
Persisting through the stormy waves of history.
Whether carefully deposited to thank the Water Gods of lake and sea,
Or falling to the depths on a dangerous journey, remains a mystery.
These treasures re-emerge with the movement of labour or tides,
Man ever-widening the pathways with the making of roads.
Or the water over centuries uncovers by flows,
Moving pebbles and sand in impossible loads.
Were the Gods pleased with the offerings, or were they meant to be found?
How many other hoards are waiting there in the dark?
Hidden from the present, keeping stories from the past,
Like the patterns of decoration, they tell of settlers who left their mark.
