The hearth of this household has long since grown cold And I’ve swept out the ashes of all that once was And bundled faggots of the nine sacred woods Awaiting the spark from the bow and the bowl Building the fire that glitters your eyes Dancing my circle contrary to yours Chancing to touch whenever we pass Daring to catch the scent of your youth To quicken the Sun to the pull of the Moon Shall we walk one another to the dark of the bower? Your hand on my arm, as you’d stroll with a lover When we’ve filled our May baskets With our songs of each other, with our hopes for the future And hang them together Then, lay down beneath them and startle the heather Bedewed and washed clean in the waters of May Bejeweled and beguiled with what we’ve just found Become wedded in thoth for a year and a day [This message has been edited by wranx (04-29-2003 07:16 AM).] |

To quicken the Sun to the pull of the Moon This shivers...silver and gold. Thank you, Ed.... |

I've told you this, and I don't mind saying it again--you have instinctive knowledge of ritual, and you DO know the sacred rites of inner circles... circles? yes..the widdershins and deosil, and you speak of this without pointing blatantly...Y'know the numbers of the twine, and touch on this without telling. smile? A keeper of the secrets. You ARE the Beltane child.  |

Your words carry on the wind dear poet. The tone of my windchimes seem to have changed. Thankyou for this. Chris  "Hope" is the thing with feathers- |

Dancing my circle contrary to yours Chancing to touch whenever we pass Daring to catch the scent of your youth To quicken the Sun to the pull of the Moon I want to say that this verse is my favorite Ed, but damn, this is so good I'm not sure that I can pick a favorite. God, you just keep getting better and better.....and what a gift you share with us!! ~D~ I must have had my momma's will |

wranx.....The whole thing is magic...but this: "Then, lay down beneath them and startle the heather" just made me see into some charm of place that is in you...and it's very special! |
