This link is a lovely voice to this time of season, the invitation to feel the nature of your nature stir. To allow yourself to really feel the elements within and around you awaken. What do you notice?

Dance the Maypole
BELTANE’S SEED OF DREAMS
Wide is the meadow of green
Lush is the carpet to barefoot dance
Beneath the Sun and Moon to
celebrate in the give of light in love
as you find the illumination made to
Brilliance into midnight’s smoky shadows
In the whirls with the twirls
in the greeting of renewal
Green smells new and mossy fresh
The body shivers in the Spring
breeze on the rise in ripple soft
waves on flesh, ready to feel
Nature’s nature from within
to the hungry naked roll on
the meadow’s carpet green
where a seed is planted for
summer’s bloom.
It is the swell of the seed within
from this seasoned land that calls for
life’s renewal in the chant and the
dance. In the remembering of
life’s cycles starting here on this
May day for what may give to
birthing from what you dream
into being.
