Spinning circles
bending rhyme
stretching
from the mark in time
when darkness reaches balance point
with light;

when Rabbit pads her nest again,
ever sacred has this Sabbat been
clothed in sheen of gossamer
and green;

anoint with dragon's blood in offering,
strewing herbs for Faerie welcoming
violet, lemon balm and lavender,
tansy, nutmeg, rose and orange rind;

mark eggs freely coloring
in shadow symbols' strengthening
chosen to unwind our need
braided in a labyrinthine of souls;

chase the children ‘round in rings
seeking treats the season brings,
quick fertile Earth's awakening,
as laughter's flowered petals soft unfold;

let fortune bring forth offerings,
Eostre's gifts of living Spring,
welcome yielding without coveting
none tainted by hunger's taste of greed.

Probably the best poem about Easter and all that goes on and something that have already went on, that I have ever read, Ice. Kickass poem, man.
