Poems that celebrate the beauty of life. ^_^

"A Moon Chant"

Moon Mother, full and bright,

bless me on this esbat night

And by Your will, Your wax and wane,

grant the favor that I name

Moon Goddess of the sea

show to me my destiny

By your will, the ebbing tide

guide me to the Other Side

Moon Mother Bast, so bright,

guide me with your silvery light,

And by your love's soft sweet refrain,

unite me with my mate again

Moon Goddess in the sky,

watch o'er us with your silvery eye

And as you shine so high above

Protect us with your eternal love

"Elemental Lovers"

As I rest in the embrace of the feild,the grass tickles me playfully

The sun dances in the sky above me,gold light gazing on me warmly

The wind lazily chases my hair,invisible fingers brushing me softly

A summer rain falls about me,cool drops caressing me tenderly

My soul spins on the spiral, spirit guiding me eternally

“Merry Meet, Merry Part, and Merry Meet Again”

Meet Merrily

as a wolf meets the moon with howls of joy

as the scent of food meets the nose of a hungry belly

as lovers meet during the first kiss

as an awe-filled child meets each new discovery

Part Merrily

as a tear of happiness parts the eye

as birds part from the trees, soaring on the changing winds

as the sun parts the earth at daybreak

as a soul parts from its shell after a good, long life

Merrily Meet Again

as night and day meet at twilight

as eyes meet, with a knowing glance shared between friends

as green meets the eye after a long winter

as rivers meet the ocean, and tides meet the sand

Merry meet, stranger, with all we have to teach one another

Merry part, old friend, as we each follow different paths

And merry meet again, my love, as I await you in the next life
