Blessed Outcomes

Decades of mystic dreamers have worn the path
trod across the leys, coupling pairs within Stonehenge.
Beneath the Wiltshire skies cornflower blue; they lust,
lotus-eaters, loose-limbed, seeking a blessed outcome.
With longing strides-- they reach, climbing earthen berms 
to add their lovers song to move with the cycles.
Some take the blessed day, others wait the pearly moon.
See her so fairy fair dressed in naught but moonlight?
Watch his black-haired beast rise once encircled by her arms.
Back pressed against the dolmens, her heels wreath his waist 
as virgin blood runs red like the holly berries
to feed the holy earth, she'll bear his child; she trusts.

You wrote this with passion, Debbie. You take me back thousands of years when earth was a better place than it is now (in my humble opinion!). I've never been to Stonehenge, but your photo reminds me a lot of our Maltese neolitic temples...the oldest in Europe...Hagar Qim, Mnajdra and Ggantija being the most popular. // paul

Debbie, I can see the couple walking through Stonehenge in anticipation of romance. I enjoyed this one very much. You have some great imagery as well as a story.
