Perched upon a chalky plain
\nA Neolithic burial site
\nFar off shadows emanate
\nSkyscape wildly offering
\nCloser to the longest day
\nWhen sunlight infiltrates the soul
\nRobed and gazing
\nProbled and raising
\nConsciousness and spells of ardour
\nThe light in life
\nSeemingly harder
\nBrightens heightens and enlightens
\nWe who stand here
\nPerhaps it frightens
\nThose who fear
\nThe solstice stilling
\nALBAN HEGIN
\nThe goddess willing
\nIn between worlds
\nIn between times
\nMidsummer magic
\nIn Between rhymes<\/p>\n
We come together
\nThe Cotswold family
\nWhere once coniferous woodland
\nVerily
\nHeld up its rare plants
\nTo the sky
\nThe ladies bedstraw
\nAs jackdaws fly
\nThe mining bee
\nThe rabbits too
\nGrave marker bluestones
\nGood and true<\/p>\n
We band of sisters and brothers
\nWe
\nSink in the sod with our constancy
\nWith ancestral thoughts
\nAnd due respect
\nMoved by the aura
\nThat some detect
\nIn these burial vaults
\nWhere ancestors lie
\nPurposefully staring
\nInto the sky
\nPart of what makes us all feel free
\nIn this celestical observatory<\/p>\n
This funerary monument’s mystic powers
\nRevealing the healing
\nConcealing the hours
\nThe curative properties
\nOf the stones
\nAccoustic reverberates
\nThrough our bones
\nFeel the clamour feal the heat
\nBreathe aloud dont be discreet
\nSuck in the air and the history too
\nWhen you are in Stonehenge
\nIts what you do<\/p>\n
We are the druids
\nHistory calls
\nLateral thinking
\nMaybe it schools
\nMany a thought
\nTo magic away
\nThe deliberation
\nOn this great day
\nThe sun entered cancer
\nInsular we
\nThink of our families
\nOur homes now that be
\nSafe and secure
\nBe honest
\nBe true
\nBe ourselves
\nfor the message it sends
\nWe need to respect more
\nAnd yes we need friends<\/p>\n
