midwinter mystery



Solstice Full Moon 2010
an Enchantment in the meadow
feathery stalks of crystal
glittering boughs
not boughs
beneath our feet
coalesced in thin air
fragile as the dawn

cold stone, my seat
some other’s wish beneath me
holding space
ice heart frozen with longing
to be Home
to be Here
in the Sacred Center
awash in diamond Light
if only
for a moment

burned and black
the detritus of fires left behind
by lovers and poets
the myriad facets of the dark-breathed
Deep, the breath of caves
the breath of the flames
at the heart of the World
licking up in Memory
and Anticipation

the moon escaped the clutching branches
etched on the clear night sky
and turning her face
fled to share the morning
with Sunlight all Aglow
and yearning
Deep! O! Yearning
for solstice’s shivering completion
and the Reawakening of the Crone
as Nymph

grandmother waxes, gravid beyond her time
labouring through the long dark night
to give Birth to the new year

  1. Hello,

    you use my image from http://www.flickr.com/photos/liebermann/5278764906/ without my consent, without link back and even without mentioning my name.

    It takes a lot of work, time, money and creativity to produce an image you take to accompany your poetry. Don't you think a photographers authorship needs to be respected, too?

    Commercial use of my photography must be paid, for private use I ask to get author credits and a link back.
