Solstice Dawn

She lay upon the great stone prone –

Stonehenge laid out around her form;

The act played on – she did condone –

She – Druid born and did conform;

Around the stone hooded figures –

Sinister in the solstice light;

Chanted whilst disappeared the stars –

And arrived at last the sunlight;

The dagger – long and curved – glinted –

And then the fear within the girl

Like the sun behind her surfaced;

Too late – the end a lightning swirl;

No record of this heinous deed -

Will see the day by all agreed.
