Song of Beltane
by Caitlin Matthews
I am the calm, I am the quickening,
I am the intoxication and the force,
I am the silence, I am the singer,
I am the stallion galloping to its source.
I am the bright pavilion and the feasting,
I am the wedding couple and the bed,
I am the morning chorus and the heartbeat,
I am the goal to which all paths are led.

Wow, Beth! Thanks for the link to some wonderful pix of Edinburgh’s festival. This would be worth travelling for!
