The Fire Tends to All
A Beltane Celebration Poem Spark turns to flame Flickering with life Aglow they reach for the sky. Warmth and light Spreading outward and up Dancing embers reaching on high. Moths to the flame The revelers come The Blessings of summer bestowed. Drums beat the spring tempo Jump, twirl, grind, and spin Rejoice all the night…
Lughnasadh
Fruits of First Harvest hang heavy on vines As stalks of grain ripen to gold Sweet the juices as warm they run To stain fingers of both young and old. Feast on the freshness that now abounds Storing away for the future For days that turn colder When the frost bites the bloom And the…
Solstice Sunrise
Nighttime skies fade to pink Cricket song on the breeze Night dew clings to blade and branch Before the mists of morning flee.

For change he brings like clockwork springs that are ever unwinding. In seasons passing in the natural order – time gone before and after. The young grow old,…

Listen closely, can you hear the whisper and song most clear? Close your…
Night of the Witches
Dark is the night As a chill wind blows Dry leaves rustle Cold and decay sting the nose. Mists creep along the ground A smell of smoke fills the night As the witches gather Mothers, sons, daughters, and Crones Drawn together on this eve of old. In silent passage they make their way Into this…
The Dance
The Sun and the Moon as the God and the Goddess Dance eternally in the heavens Sometimes in dark and sometimes in light Forever in their enchanted embrace. To witness this wondrous dance of the ages With all of its glory and grace Brings inspiring awe to those down below Who take time to watch…
