Midsummer In Avebury Poem by Angela Wybrow

Here I am down at Avebury Ring -
A place which makes my heart and mind sing.
I'm sitting here by the huge Wishing Tree,
Basking in a tropical sea of tranquillity.

The midsummer sun is shining so bright.
My being is filled with such sheer delight.
Delicate daisies stud the green grass.
I wish that this day would just last and last.

Only once every year does this special day come.
Far, far away, I can hear distant drums.
I can feel the warmth of the sun on my face,
As I sit and marvel at this most mystical place.

The world outside is lost for a while;
On my lips, there plays a contented smile.
My soul, it is shrouded in a veil of peace -
For now, all my tensions and worries have ceased.

Sweet songs are sung by the birds in the trees,
Whose whispers are heard on the soft summer breeze.
Such a magical place, I feel blessed to have found -
A place where peace and love wear the crown.

My heart feels so light - just like a feather.
Part of me wishes I could stay here forever.
When it's time to go home, I'll shed a tear,
But I'll be back here again the same time next year!
