That cobbled street

As I walked in my neighbourhood ,everyday sights and sounds I see,
there was this little corner that I have missed to be.

All day when I pass towards and about, a cobbled street I see,
everytime I look at it; beautiful, mysterious and alluring to call out to thee.

Few minutes from home, yet miles away you feel,
why this cobbled street, gives some overwhelming zeal.

One fine day it was bright and sunny,
to go on there felt like it was meant to be.

Walked towards this cobbled street,
like a new world it offers greet.
A chirping bird here and fluttering trees there,
welcoming signs here and happiness spread everywhere.
Fairy tale houses, with stables along,
excellent positive vibes and now instantly home you belong.

Makes you realise this it exists, amongst the chaos you live,
makes you realise how peace and serenity it wishes to give.
This cobbled street is something for everyone to see,
being alive and content it makes you feel.

there was this little corner, that was calling me,
there are no regrets but oodles of joy that now fills me.

 this was the little experience of that cobbled street.

Going back in time.

So I was at the Stirling Castle north of Scotland, in the distance I could  see the William Wallace monument, I look down  I see on the right a graveyard, on the left a bridge, in the distance hills and rough terrain. Very nice. Modern signs put up to show what is where with the names and the significance. Good to know.

Then I saw a carved flat rock, placed on a hill through the graveyard, no signs pointing to it and sitting there unnoticed. I became very curious as to what that was, was it someone's tombstone or was it something else, it looked quite rough on its four sides just the top was flat, so I went towards it climbed up the small hill and stood next to the rock, what I see there took me straight back in time.

Placed on top of the flat carved out rock was a round metal disc with carved out grooves showing north alongwith the exact features you see around you and in the distance. Like the William Wallace camp on the north, unexplored hills on the east, a battle ground that was marked in the South west. What I was seeing is exactly what the king and warriors were seeing when exploring the far off lands, planning battle strategies. It shut me off and high on top of this hill apart from a highway in a distance I could see no modern structures, just far off unexplored hills, castle, battleground, I got a quite intense and strong feeling that I was back in time and exactly how they must have felt in the era. It was quite an experience nothing very significant but the feeling was overwhelming.


This is a very short and concise experience I am sharing here, as it is your imagination that will make this interesting; visualising this in your mind will help in understanding what I mean.
