Cross
quarter days sit between solar events,
‘Tween two Equinoxes or two Soltices, past, future, present
tense.
Beltane
sits between Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice,
life waking and dream.
Dawn breaking, Gaia waking, flowers bloom, brown turns green.
Samhain's
compliment, the Yang to the Yin.
But they share many qualities, for the veils are both thin…
With
Imbolc and Ostara, three seed celebrations.
Fertility deserves, does not need salutations.
The
Tuatha Dé Danann, the peoples of the goddess Danu,
May have shown the Milesieans what the Druids can do.
You
can see it as curse or see it as Gift
That no line occurs where history becomes myth.
Seven
Sisters rise just before the sun.
Seven joyous sisters, imbibing for fun.
They
sit on the Plough and request the pull
Of their engine and pilot, of Taurus the bull.
Seven
Sisters of Bealtaine, each one of a kind,
Ride out in the sky with the sun just behind.
