Birkrigg

On a moorland ridge overlooking the sea
I sat at some stones, awaiting.
Meeting friends, old and new
Faces once remembered.

The burial mound above the town
Protective and protected,
Some people go, some people come
I stayed all night, reflective.

Three of us did, a trinity unlikely
And the Alsation that didn't like me.
We talked and talked, then talked some more
And then I drummed the clouds away.

Broken and still, the clouds tried to hide
The morning Sun behind them, but
He broke through, in yellows and reds
Burning like tongues of fire.

Circle open, and I thank the Gods
The Elements and the Stones,
For allowing me to see them.
And then I had a wander.

Time went on, and the Sun went higher
Clearing the clouds before Him.
As I returned, the Solstice turned
And rays burst across the water.

I stayed all day, and saw the Noon
'bout half past two, midday.
I thanked the Gods, and was blessed by this place
As I held vigil, the ancient way.

The Sunset gathered
and so did some friends,
To wish him well on his journey.
And we opened another Circle.

We drummed and we sang
And we danced and we laughed
And we wished him well on his journey
And then we closed the Circles.

Three Circles round, within three circles round
mostly hidden in the bracken.
Love released across the land
At this Midummer time.
