Repost From Open #27

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.”

I may hate myself in the morning - but I'm gonna love you tonight
-Lee Ann Womack

for some reason this reminds me of a wiccan ritual. like the initiation one or whatever it was. huh. odd. well I liked it, pretty good imagery here, and it's cool that you guys did a duet, those i think are hard sometimes =) anyways, groovy!

Wow, dear Tima and Sue! This is spectacular. Can't remember it from earlier, but I am surely glad to have found it now.

Great job, you too!

Yes, there is a cadence that gives the idea of a ritual ... an invocation to the Spirit of Fire and Light.

Love, Margherita
