<\/p>\n
Chalice Well, an idyll, resting<\/p>\n
by the side of a busy road
\npeace and timeless fascination
\nseduces hearts, helps them unload
\nstressful moments float away
\nacross deep thoughts an elysian grove
\nwithin a yew strung treasure trove<\/p>\n
silence is a soulful servant
\nsending forth a stillness and
\nlulling minds borne out of loving
\nfor Nature’s green and pleasant land
\nsweet nosegays of pretty petals
\nbudding bough’s all brilliance building
\npretty offerings salient gifts
\nsoftly scents and heavenly lifts<\/p>\n
endearingly and purposefully
\nand youthfully all yielding
\na sanctuary providing a spiritual embrace
\nsecret sighs do realise the naturalness and grace
\nof water bursting forth out of the bowels of mother earth
\npouring forth a quality created for re-birth<\/p>\n
to sit beside a lady a warrior a Queen
\nas beautiful as any, who there has ever been
\nsuch ebullience so much verve
\nprojected out from her that she
\nthrusts a silent gaze a far
\nand gives so much to me
\na thrilling sweet persuasion
\na mindful mystery
\na smile that curls into a moonlit magic
\nof creativity<\/p>\n
an interlude beside the well
\na candle lit release
\na tranquillity a reverence
\na belief that cannot cease
\nto amaze the mortal on her knees
\ngazing with closed eyes
\nas the ancients look upon her
\nwith their wild and weary eyes<\/p>\n
The holy thorn such innocence
\nsuch purity to see
\nits contribution to the world
\nof course creativity
\nprogressing ever higher
\nat Yule it does evolve
\nand at Easter its white blossom
\nhelps us all to solve<\/p>\n
the age old story
\nthat became apparent
\nto those downhearted souls
\nwho had lost their way
\nbut on seeing these white
\nblossoms
\nin the snowyness of Winter
\nhelped them with their own
\ngrey skies to say<\/p>\n
time is of the essence
\nand time changes so much
\nthe Angel seat is where you will greet
\nand try to stay in touch
\nwith the flowers the buds
\nthe blossom the bees
\nwho tirelessly
\ncollect their little baskets
\nof pollen naturally<\/p>\n
The meadow green and grassy
\na soft and gentle sward
\nbetween the Chalice and the Tor
\nbeyond the great accord<\/p>\n
the shop its pea green vista
\nits myriad of things
\nstartling the whisperer
\nfor each of course now brings
\na harmony of sensation
\na growing hope to see
\nsomething they can purchase
\nfrom the shelves where mystery
\nis housed in potent helpings
\na charming vestibule
\nsurprising many a visitor
\nwho clearly came to call<\/p>\n
the lions head
\nsits in wonder
\nrock hewn its so delivers
\nthe water of the spring
\nthe sparkle of the light form
\nthe flowing gurgling<\/p>\n
King Arthur’s Court and Healing Pool
\nthe rich red iron clad rock
\nonce more glistening famously
\nour eyes can so unlock
\nthe ancients truest wisdom
\ndiluted for us all
\nwhere algae thrives the many lives
\nare witnessed by us all<\/p>\n
the Yew trees sweep and tangle
\nembracing wind and rain
\nsearching, ever searching
\nred berries again
\ntheir life force is immense
\nand ancient is their right
\nso much superstition and folklore
\nand great light<\/p>\n
The vesica pool a swirling force
\na figure of eight I do deduce
\nthe mountain streams
\nthe high crag dreams
\nthe sweep and soulful link
\nwe see
\nwithin the water clear and free<\/p>\n
the water and its great healing
\nrevealing to us all
\nthe power the subtle quality
\nthe great rise and the fall
\nthe energy of mountains
\nthe magnetism we
\nare drawn through it to
\nwonderment
\nfor that is where we be<\/p>\n
The Chalice Well great Gardens
\na place of peace despite
\nthe busy road and the people
\nwho challenge and invite
\nthe spirits now of Glastonbury
\nto drift up to the Tor
\nthat shares the freedom
\nof summits green
\nbursting from the floor<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
and outside of all this aura<\/p>\n
the roads or arteries<\/p>\n
were not designed to carry<\/p>\n
all this traffic<\/p>\n
the tease<\/p>\n
is Glastonbury’s future<\/p>\n
is being compromised<\/p>\n
its positively dangerous<\/p>\n
I am sure its realized<\/p>\n
but something must \u00a0be done soon<\/p>\n
for this \u00a0historic town<\/p>\n
needs its visitors and its residents<\/p>\n
or it could all come tumbling down.<\/p>\n
