in the shadows

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 green of gossamer
and bright;

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

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 awakenings,
Freyja laughs as 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.

...and to think that the beauty who heralds' the coming of April is introduced as a fool.

Great poetry as usual. Mr. Ice. I don't come on here often anymore. What happened to all our old and very talented friends?
