and plant one foot upon the earth the other will be washed by tide as fire plays the dance of mirth. Stars will gather in my hair lightning loosed by chant of tongue gather herb in fold of skirt quickly while this day is young. I free the night from heaven's rule. I greet the golden orb. Walk with me into the wood I tell will ye tales of yore. We remember ways of seed-- here there is no finger's blame-- the only path beneath the feet. To stray is but a following-- shadows stroll behind a lead-- I caution you, don't follow me. But I pray you'll meet me there." for truth is something you must find... so meet me in the forest--deep-- there you'll find a gasp of sky once shaded by the branch of oaks-- two which cradled witches souls graves of sister sacrifice memorial to burning times. Keep this vow of witch's rede: "As ye harm none, do what thou wilt" remembering that will is free... Gather berries on the way, herbs and flowers for the feast. Meet me at the opening in the center of the wood. |

Karen...I love the picture this paints in my head... "I will clothe myself in sky and plant one foot upon the earth the other will be washed by tide as fire plays the dance of mirth. Stars will gather in my hair lightning loosed by chant of tongue gather herb in fold of skirt" and this... "so meet me in the forest--deep-- there you'll find a gasp of sky once shaded by the branch of oaks-- two which cradled witches souls graves of sister sacrifice memorial to burning times." and, of course, this... "Gather berries on the way, herbs and flowers for the feast. Meet me at the opening in the center of the wood." It's a date! This is wonderful, Karen...a song, indeed. Smiling at you...  Love ya, witchy woman. "My friends are my estate." |

I will clothe myself in sky and plant one foot upon the earth the other will be washed by tide as fire plays the dance of mirth. Stars will gather in my hair lightning loosed by chant of tongue gather herb in fold of skirt quickly while this day is young. I free the night from heaven's rule. I greet the golden orb. Walk with me into the wood I tell will ye tales of yore. ============================= Here is parting of the ways for truth is something you must find... so meet me in the forest--deep-- there you'll find a gasp of sky once shaded by the branch of oaks-- two which cradled witches souls graves of sister sacrifice memorial to burning times. =============================== Nothing touches you when you write like this... I do so love when you candle dance baby... The imagery in this alone is worth poetic gold... high inspire me lovely good witch.. Glenda has got nothing on you when you braid your hair with stars.  and ya know what the best thing is.... "Part 1" means there will be MORE.  "How could I stand here with you and not be moved by you." |

Thanks good people, (and Chris, YES, I'm getting to the point of it, soon.  )Wanted to pop in and say thanks for reading tho. And I don't want to flood the forum, but there is more to the legend, and I hated to just RUN through it...but perhaps part III will be tweaked to my satisfaction by um, TODAY? shrug. I never know. Hugs all. Happy Lammas to you. Now go feast. |
