waking up (for Jim) rich and deep the forest odors and the warm spring breeze sleepy with the scent of wild flowers and animals in heat dances at our ankles the waters glimmer blue/bright pale moonlight floats like lotuses on the surface flickering fire pit dug by hand we ignite the logs feed the flames with herbs and sacred woods the ancient steps we dance as lord and lady raise the power the words we sing become a wordless sound ringing brilliant wild release calling them home we pass the cup remembering we love each other I wish you could be there I wish I could take you there Rowan Rose |
