the wheel of the year turns ever forward; today marks a cross-quarter day, between an equinox and a solstice; where I live, it is Beltane today
the hilltop sings the music of green
the circle spins its unending dance
mossy stones stand tall and white
flowers spread where footsteps fall
come into the darkened glade
where trees contain an ancient place
sing your grace and joy and hope
blessings from the gods and spirits of then and now
today you dance into the woods
today it meets you there as always before
the hilltop sings of silver and earth
the circle spins through time and time
weave yourself into the pattern of the world
we are here with all of us today
— Phoenix Kelley, Beltane 2023
Blessings of growth and blessings of earth for you today. The wheel moves forward and we dance alongside it.
