Summer Solstice at Roll Rights

Oxfordshire boasts a yellow stone

that masons sculpt and build

all the way to Roll Right’s

where the standing stones concealed

in trees and in a circle

ragged stones now be

lichen embellished obelisks

clothed in mystery

 

other worldly spirituals

a Druidic ceremony

held within a circle

of friends, who seek to be

Protecting,creating strength and Peace

to everyone alive

on this marvellous Planet Earth

where most of us survive

 

and on this Summer Solstice

the longest day

in time

when the sun god rules

with majesty

tis then all hearts do climb

together clasping hands

we felt the influence and power

the strength and understanding

and the justice of the hour

 

love within the circle

a warmth,

a caring, we

could feel  all that togetherness

and all that  energy

as the songbirds watched, for me

their twittering it had  ceased

they were clearly witness to it all

and not the least

the coming together of existences

they heard the silent call

and their respect was honoured

we roared into the sky

used the breath we were born with

the element to defy

 

 

the pagan ladies took the lead

in white they led us through

the standing stones were party

to the ritual, good and true

around us gently swaying trees

as the sanctity was drawn

a peacefulness was felt by all

an invocation torn

from

ancestral rites,. and those who met

to work for good and grace

a blessedness of spirit

a pilgrimage, a place

within the Roll Right’s circle

a meeting of like minds

where all around the trees and

wild plants clarity enshrines

 

some people came just to observe

others heard the call

the Pagan’s Prayer recited

the food and wine

that school

the ancient rites and wisdom

it had all  been cast

upon this Summer Solstice

mirrored in the past

 

 

the many generations shared

an inspirational interlude

as all of us we clearly knew

the energies around

evolving and resolving

a conduit of sound

 

of hearts and souls and matter

a sincerity, a cause

the candle and the incense

and the generous applause

moved by the occasion

the light brightened our eyes

our hearts warmed to the message

which came as no surprise
