The bells are singing,
'Chant of Pride.
"Follow path to wood's cleared light!"
so softly spoken-
I spill sighs on sight.

Heavy moon-birth
shadowed in night
Hips sway accord, harmony's plight.
Wide stump holds
lone candle, there
Pale Sanctity in prayer, eye-height.
Sends wisdom'd word-
whispered to wind, this night.

One burning glow,
wick dance is slow.
I yield knees, ceremonious echo...
Peace to its shine,
blind, but for its hold.
flame's silent shroud is all that I know.


"..But a tyrant spell has bound me,
And I cannot, cannot go.."
~Emily Bronte

Ahhh . . Yielding to the knees is an interesting way to take on the night. I can picture this scene, darkened dance floor, sax giving you all the passion you need. Beautiful . . .

Tonight I light a candle for you love.  My own ceremony... for things past, for things present, and for things yet to come.  ICU.
