Pagan roots

Stone grinds out a diamond arc,  
trilithons frame the heel.  
Beasts of burden free from field,  
parade around the fire's wheel.  

Rural beacons blind the night,  
shadows leap above the flames,  
marking out the crops new height,  
all-fathers play their manly games.  
 
Sun passes power onto leaf,  
vervain, trefoil, rue and rose  
sleep to dream of loves new lease,  
the bard within reclaims belief.
