Thousands gathered at the Heel Stone

shortly after sunrise (here) Summer Solstice on 21st June
marks the official start of summer.

Hand in hand merrily couples not alone
Thousands gathered at the Heel Stone

 A symbol viewed by many as phallic
Solstice tradition splashed with magic

Musings of romantic maneuvers in store
Beautiful sunrise in the morn seen in awe

    Nice line: "Solstice tradition splashed with magic" I like the idea that they go there as couples.

    Indeed... and a stone or a pole at solstice... there is a dream of fertility there.
