A willingness to ready
\nBeltane sets the scene
\nThe people clad in mystery
\nYou feel that if you have been
\nBards of course and musicians
\nThe people young and old
\nStrolling up the high street
\nOn joy clearly all sold<\/p>\n
Studious and sedulous
\nSmiles on every face
\nBehaviour and deportment
\nThe drummers mark the pace
\nDignity and presence
\nUp and down the street
\nHear the chitter chatter
\nAnd really feel the beat <\/p>\n
The dragon on her stilted legs
\nMusic in her soul
\nFancy dress
\nWe need to bless
\nThe Clannishness, the role
\nOf true collaboration
\nA fraternity all there
\nMutual understanding
\nA cordial affair<\/p>\n
Provocative and challenging
\nRebellious they be
\nPaying homage to the mayor
\nFlourishing it be
\nA kind of liberation
\nA catharsis in a way
\nRedemption and salvation
\nOn this very special day<\/p>\n
Emporiums and markets
\nA wealth of Wytchyness
\nBountiful liberality
\nLavish and reckless
\nPast the white Spring
\nUp the narrow
\nSoon towards the Tor
\nThe ritual of the many
\nAnd everybody\u2019s sure<\/p>\n
Such effusiveness
\nWe are overwhelmed
\nBy the sensitive and kind
\nAll shapes and sizes
\nMaudlin, tingling
\nEager breathless lies
\nExcitable emotional
\nAnd pure
\nUnflappable unstoppable
\nAn easy going lure<\/p>\n
Animated everyone
\nTo a jocular degree
\nRoguish mirthful tickled pink
\nRejoicing avidly.
\nGlastonbury\u2019s expectations
\nEveryone can feel
\nIt\u2019s reassuring to be there
\nIt really is so real
\nCaution to the wonderment
\nSpell binding magic too
\nIt really is a phenomenon
\nWhere all one\u2019s dreams come true.<\/p>\n
Common folk towns folk
\nThe unwashed and the many
\nGaffers peasants backwoodsman
\nThe touchy and the vain
\nHumble -minded arts and graces
\nFound glory in the rain.
\nBunting streamers magic spells
\nIf you have ever been before
\nYou realise how wonderful we are
\nAnd what we are all here for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
