They may employ<br />counting measure, ceremony and sacrifice,<br />taunting and torture or other trials<br />thus finding for each loyal swan a pond<br />to plunder, to parade in royal colour,<br />their place of pride.<br /><br />Cruelty descends, more master than tactic; <br />it is the enemy of joy, of flavor,<br />bonding, works of love and honor.<br /><br />Yet men, on real ground, work companions<br />to soil and rain, engineers trained to each<br />moment's urgencies, philosophers of stone and mud,<br />reason and toil, persist. Their sinew and bone feed<br />the ages, build clay and richness on which<br />wealth relies.<br /><br />Wisdom knows the sweat of practiced movement,<br />flexible to unexpected obstacles, able to modulate<br />quiet or loud as the crowd ebbs <br />or grows in credulity.<br />Where wisdom seeps through, counters<br />prevailing poisons, invigorates blood to nourish<br />minds and hearts, look there for blessing.<br /><br />Arise, lovers! Bring forth better days,<br />ours to play in open revelry,<br />neighbors enjoying shared labors and our fruit.<br />Accept truth of magic; imagine life into this world.<br /><br /><br />Beltane 2012libramoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06077072773341726387noreply@blogger.com
