The die is cast; the Names are called –
And Tribute given to the wind –
The eyes turned North, East, South and West;
And homage made in kind.

The Sun is dead; the Moon is full –
And Mother languishes in sleep –
The Moon’s bright eyes were burn covetous;
He fain her care would keep.

The whispered words with power hum,
And mystic spirits charge the air –
The Circle crackles with its life,
As hooded forms prepare.

With palms upturned they greet the Night;
Their bodies cleansed, their souls exposed –
Their Centers planted in the Earth –
Their minds unclosed.

In spirit linked, the Four will stand --
Through open gates shall Chaos spill;
Their Wards will weave from formless, form –
And bind it to their will.

A sudden silence snaps the chain –
The charm released to fill its task.
And supplicants to dreams retreat,
Still wearing Shadow’s mask.

Good work, my friend. . .

This just in - you're good. No, really I've known it all along, but I love this ritualistic depiction. Very well done, Kess.

Love is an attempt at penetrating another being,But it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual.
