 <\/p>\n

Bealtaine is when we light the fires<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Not just for our desires<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The things we want and need<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Whether in poverty or greed<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But simply to connect, to communicate<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To let folks know that they are great<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That we miss them, that they matter<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That we can\u2019t wait to have a natter<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Or share a coffee, or a walk<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Or sit in silence, no need to talk.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The world isn\u2019t open just yet<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But as Bealtaine passes, can we set<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Our beacons alight and say<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We are here<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We care<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And so we share<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Our Bealtaine beacons with those<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Who feed our fires the most.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
