Frozen in time
bearing my selection
I call to the winds
to change my direction

Four corners beside me
above and below
To you, Mother Earth
I do bestow

For the Watchtowers guard
and know thy way,
A divine spirit
aside natures buffet.

Within my soul
a flame shall burn
to light my shadow
as I watch and learn

On a summer’s eve
moon in view
Two have gathered
To start anew

Silver and gold
Silver and gold
Southern heaven
and Eastern hold

With Eastern Onyx
and Southern Agate
celebration of harvest
lying in wait

Fire of the South
we ask of Thee
Passion and love
by wind and sea

Upon this slate
grab hold of my hand
wolf and butterfly
to the mortal man  

Southern Water
Eastern Earth
May Guardians grant
A renewing birth

Corners called
wait and see
hearth fire of protection,
Blessed Be!  

Journey uphill
Two souls abound
an echoing lament
heard all around,

"Thrice returns,
peace instill
An’ it harm none,
do what ye will.”

Truly amazing.. and not only does it not harm anyone.. it truly, truly helps..

to see and know that beauty exists and can be shared, freely.. sigh..

I've got three little ones under foot, so I can't take long here...hehe, but I did what to say thanks to everyone for the kind replies to the poem that Sue and I composed.

It was an awesome first time experience, one that I would do again (and plan to very soon).  Sue you are a wonderful poetess, and writing with you was such and honor...can't wait till the next time around!

Love all you guys, and thanks so much for reading!

Blessed Be

This is a very cool write..you two have conjured up a surreal and lovely poetic spell with this...I love the imagery and chanting word play.
Wonderful, creative dueting poetess(s)
Well done!!
