Golden tears tumble
The past creates the future
Dying for rebirth
Tomorrow from yesterday
Endless promise of beauty

The photo for this week’s prompt was taken at Alderley Edge in autumn. These ancient beechwoods are as mysterious as they are beautiful. Legends abound, both ancient and modern, for it was here that Alan Garner set his stories and those who read The Weirdstone of Brisingamen and its sequels will recognise the landscape.
Loving the land here, Garner used many of the old stories as the basis of his own tales. There really are tunnels beneath the woodland floor, lost caverns and a Golden Stone on the Elven Road. Who knows, perhaps the wizard is still sealed in his caverns with the sleeping knights too…

Thank you so much to everyone who took part this week and to everyone who reblogged the prompt, round up and the individual responses! A new prompt will be published later today. As always, I will reblog as many contributions as space and time allows as they come in… and all of them will be featured in the round-up next Thursday.
