Ancient Paths Literary Magazine
Share
Ancient Paths literary magazine was published in print, and later online, from 1998-2024. You can still read many of the works here and on the blog.
After 25 years of continuous publication, either in print or online, Ancient Paths is closing its doors. These past twenty-five years have been a wondrous journey, and I am thankful to all of the writers, poets, artists, and readers who have shared it with me. I hope you will continue to read and comment on the hundreds of poems and short stories available in the archives and on this page, which I will continue to keep available for the foreseeable future.
Sincerely,
Skylar Hamilton Burris

Ancient Paths
"Pentecost"
(Acts 2,1-11)
by Liz Dolan
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in foreign tongues...
Denied speech and life,
you, I imagine now,
with The Gift of Tongues,
chastising squirrels and chipmunks
who scurry above disturbing your rest,
clucking at white-tailed deer
who eat winter pansies I planted.
I hear you lark-sing in opaline light,
hear signals you send to beetles and ants
who weave mazes for your lily fingers
as they trace the
glistening umbilical cord
about your neck laced with acorns and berries.
