There it is
\nIts magnificent
\nIn its Place on Salisbury plain
\nPresili stones and Sarsons
\nHewn and put in place
\nTo gain
\nTo demonstrate an aura
\nAn impressiveness beyond
\nA truly commanding ediface
\nIn which all who see
\nRespond<\/p>\n
An uprightness and a goodness
\nMomentous by degree
\nA neolithic miracle
\nOf total constancy
\nRestored and reassembled
\nBy masons down the line
\nRebuilt and remodelled
\nAnd remaining divine<\/p>\n
Its magickal alignments
\nIts pioneering poise
\nThe pilgrimage of many
\nEvidencing joys
\nOf worshippers and pagan hearts
\nFrom all around the world
\nDrawn to absorb the wonders
\nThat meaningfully are hurled<\/p>\n
We are here at noon on Sunday
\nResolute we be
\nThe druids and the friends
\nOf the order
\nExpeditiously
\nDrawn down to the energy
\nThe ancestral rapport
\nA re-union for many
\nA place where less is more<\/p>\n
A peacefulness
\nAnd tranquility
\nHands held we surely feel
\nThe privilege of being
\nThe protection that is real
\nThe free born and free speaking
\nWe all given free play
\nTo enjoy the Summer Solstice
\nOn this truly lovely day<\/p>\n
The warm glow of cordiality
\nIntuitively we
\nFeel the unctuous vibrance
\nInfluenced we be
\nBy the shadows and the light forms
\nBy the ardour at our side
\nAnd the feeling that others join us
\nAnd with us they confide<\/p>\n
It has to be mind-boggling
\nWhat else can it be
\nWe are altogether
\nIt feels extraordinary
\nIts dramatic its arresting
\nThe impression that it leaves
\nIt does touch the heartstrings
\nAnd that alone achieves<\/p>\n
Much, behold the ritual
\nBe excited by it all
\nEnthuse and be awakened
\nFeel the ancestral call
\nThe Morris men and women
\nTheir merry making fun
\nAnd The radiance of Salisbury
\nAll Enlivened by the sun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
