Bealtaine Poem
Signs for you
Hear the birds’ calls
Radiance of summer
Winter has gone
Winds strong, rain-blessed
Holy fire
For kine and hearth
Flowers at their height
Abundance in bloom
Bright fire
Joy a thousandfold
The cries of revelers
High the sun
Long its trek
Dark gray well, encircled
Dark green leaves
Fan out in bounty
Litany of birdsong
Yellow flower, a ward
Push back the bad luck
Clouds gather
Dew collected, cleansed
Grace of warmth
Toward longer days
Signs of summer
