Sherwood
By Moira Kinlock
Women gathered in the wood
and circled round the sacred fire
whispering their deep desire,
and Goddess saw that it was good.
Shadows in the dancing flames,
elves and faeries stood around
the edge of circle's holy ground,
and heard them speak the ancient names.
Hands to stars invoke the Light;
women danced and raised the power—
spirit filled the God's green bower.
and laughter filled the Sherwood night.
