MAY FAIR

Always true to ourselves
Always different,
we come into bloom again
Everything is more beautiful
Oh, what great wonder 
 
Nature has awakened
awaken anyone you desire 
Spring once again
bathes the young cities in light 
 
Aphrodite, Demeter
and all the goddesses of Eleusis
prepare to celebrate
the Dionysian mysteries
of today’s eternal Greekness 
 
You too, Sleeping Beauty
awakened from sleep
by the gallant kiss
come to the festival of Sun and Wine 
 
Drink to Joy to Life to Color
Laugh at the exploits of papier-mâché heroes
Dance to the music of extraordinary sound
Slip away from the prison of ennui
Rediscover Grace, reinvent Candor
