The Goddess Aurora Dark gods crawl from forest moss to fight the fire lord shadows dance of battles wrought when camp fires start to roar. In summers night of far far north Polaris watches bored while fire mites, will mesmerize in trance, above the quiet moors These sounds that mock, harken not her footfalls to my ear and crackling fires, spark desire for the Goddess to appear She comes at night in pulsing light a temptress from the north on forest spires, with incandescent fires she dances, to find her Earth'n Lord On this night an age old rite, in circles of all Druids before and Irish men, pure of sin will dance, to have her sweet reward In waves of light, she comes tonight through heavens gateless door and touches ground, on holy mounds to dance in ancient Celtic lore Oh queen of light, behold tonight this bounty for your choice choose the one, of sweetest love and in his dance rejoice With a roaring chant they began a dance with thunder through the moors a thousand men, for a challenge to win and the hand of the Goddess Aurora..... To this day they ne'er say though 'tis a myth, to modern man they whisper for a chance and they dance the fire dance As Aurora descends to the fires of the moors..

what a perfect way to start my day...with a parker poem *S* parker-man you have outdone your self the imagery in this is superb!!! and the rhyme flow and word choices are perfection!! love the mythology theme...and that last line. thank you for a most excellent read take care poetic prince *S* jm Is it too much to find an answer, Is it too much to hold you close. Is it too much to find a reason, Is it too much to free my soul -- From self control ... And I know you're always waiting for me ... You take me far away, And I know you're holding me ... And it's better now ... ~vertical horizon~ |

The sacred fires eternally kept reaching towards the heavens, as Beltaine's festival approaches, stirring up the embers of fertility, for the Goddess Bel, for whom the flames lick. Young lovers given to her call, light reflects upon the forest and there they leap across the flames the whole night long, going "A Maying." Lovely poem, Parker. Corinne |

This is very well written James. It really reminds me of your " Aurora's Light" you wrote long ago. So i take it this is your " little light"... Marina |

I couldn't resist! It has been going through my head since you posted this. Have you seen the sky tonight, Lets walk together and share the sight. Aurora from the north has come, To amaze our eye's with a dance above. She brings the golden fairies of the night, The dancers of the rainbows light.

Butterflies, so you got away at the end, gotta keep those captivation knots tighter. thank you everyone for your kind replies. Parker |

Lizzie, thank you, that spell wears off, after you do the Fire dance in public. Butterflies, and you flutter so sweetly. Parker |
