A simple coal left unaware
a rush of wind to beware
defiant now, I lift my chin,
breath of fire, dragon's grin.
Rattle of the witch's dance,
greet this moon upon the wax--
Hecate she will dance in me,
I cast the bones,
I set me free...
Temperence may now be damned--
slash and burn upon the land
nothing now to understand
sparking flame of glory's hand
Guardians, I call on thee,
whispered cries eternity,
escape my soul,
love's reprimand,
may this plea
be as command--
my will, thine will--
So mote it be.

"Rattle of the witch's dance,

What a bewitching piece.  I love it!

Tomorrow holds only mystery
And who's to say what might be
But in you I've found a love so strong
The sun and the moon look on in jealousy

Are you sure it's a rattle, dear? It seems more of a quick wind, sharp but smooth. The only rattle comes from those she distrubs with her motion. But I feel the brush, and it's cool now, cool and good... but the warmth is hidden in the trees.
Peace, sweet witch...

Perfect rhyme and clever use of words, I could envision every sentence, I "felt" this chant!  

Take care,
Melissa~
