She weaves
Whispers of Wisdom
Sings songs of delight
Throughout the daytime
And all through the night
Summer, Autumn,
Winter, Spring
Earth enchanted
By Gaia’s blessings

Midwinter – a poem
Today is the shortest day
Tonight the longest night
Tomorrow’s sunrise the turning point
That marks the returning light
*
In the very heart of winter
There’s a special vigil to keep
As we wait patiently in the dark
For the sun to wake from sleep
*
Soon the world will be brighter
It will be the darkness’ turn to wane
It won’t be long until spring is here
When The Wheel will turn again
This Midsummer Night
A couple of verses of something I’ve been working on…Wishing Solstice Blessings to All 🙂
Night fires bright
Beacons and bonfires light
Up the hills tonight
Dancing snakes of torchlight
.
This Midsummer Night
*
Singing and chanting
Blessings be granting
Smiles true and enchanting
Fae spells be casting
.
This Midsummer Night
Curling Swirling
Curling, swirling
Vines twist and turn
Labyrinthine trails
Drawn in the sand
Etched upon stone
Coiling around trees
Spelling out dreams
Crossing thresholds
Binding thought to movement
Blending shadow and shine
The seen and unseen
Beltane
Turn your back to winter
Show your face to the sun
Gather hawthorn and wild rose blossom
The Beltane feast has begun
*
Dance around the fires
Sing songs by flame-light
Honour the Green Man and his Lady
On this early summer night
Far from the Goddess
~ Hecate by William Blake ~ photo credit: wikipedia
Sunlight filters through the leaves
Lazily reaching out to the earth
But it does not touch me
Moonlight bathes all in majestic silver
Boldly breaking through inky clouds
But it does not reach me
Starlit beacons in the indigo night
Safely guide the lost and wayward
But they do not save me
I am far from the Goddess
Beyond the embrace of
Sun, Moon and Stars
I am far from the Goddess
