Twas the night......

Twas a full moon in Solstice, and all though the world
Folks stood in wonder as winter unfurled
My love baking cookie, and me with spiced rum
More than made up for the absence of sun

The Kids were content just to smell what was cooking
As was I, but admit that I couldn’t help looking
The drink and the warmth of a well heated oven
Reminded us all of the friends in our coven

When deep in the soul a reminder was placed
Of why Yule is sacred, and brightens my face
And there at the alter, to quell winters yearning
Were evergreen boughs , and ash for the burning

The moon shining white, as to copy the snow
Seemed to hold summertime deep in its glow
In the shadows created by limbs of the trees
I saw there the Goddess to put me at ease

She told me of changing in forest and leaf
As nature prepared to deliver relief
And all in my tribe, the Young and the Old
Took solace in knowing of end to the cold

Very cool.

Thanks.

America... just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable.

The Wave should be written in future history books.

I'm glad you enjoyed. And it's good to see another HST fan.

Kindred spirits and all that. I don't blame Hunter for checking out, but I miss him.

I know what you mean. I regularly pick up something of his to read and have Fear And Loathing on my ipod. I don't blame him either his life was his and he was more aware of it than most.

Circles

We send them off
in garlanded boats
on fire
into the sea of eternity
when they leave us
and this life
behind them

a last journey
without measure
without time
without dreams
to wake from

we say goodbye
and we cry
then remember
to plant the flowers
for the garlands.
