"Ancient Wisdom"
The moon rose slowly
Beth entered the circle
For the first time.
Her sisters embraced her
With their minds and with their arms.
Their spells protected her
And hers them
From a harsh world
Full of pain,
Full of danger.
Their religion was old,
The Earth-worship of
Celts of long ago passed
Into legend,
Mistrust,
Then obscurity.
A fringe cult
To hear the news
But family to the women
Who lived by the teachings
Of Goddess and of
Mother Earth,
The creators of all.

The mist hangs heavy on the lake.
As creatures in the Bayou wake.
Spider webs cling to each rose.
Standing
When the darkness threatens to drown our cities and
When hunger and sickness stalk the hearts and minds of our beloved
people

The morning ritual has begun.
Round and round from dusk to dawn,
Wishful thoughts start to spawn.
