Beneath A Melting Moon

Beneath A Melting Moon

The sun has left you burnt and cold

it's golden rays are frozen tendrils in the guise of passion's caress

so you've stayed within and let desire pale

becoming colorless and phototropic

Come away with me into the night

a little lunacy to set you free

I walk in the sunlight but there is still

trust in these eyes

healing in these hands

understanding in this embrace

salvation on these lips

peace in the beat of my heart

At the top of a ritual mountain under the blessing of the stars

in the hours where the shadows are honest

let me become your fullness

reminding you of heat's true nature

When you've come to no longer ache

we can walk together through time

for the moon can melt all pain

and hold hands with the sun

Not Too Deep

Not Too Deep

Let my resting place be not too deep

that I may still feel the sun through the warm earth

be washed clean by storms yet to come
chill with frozen diamonds in winter's white treasure box
be stroked by the falling colors of autumn's rainbow coat

Yes, let my resting place be not too deep
that I may hear the laughter
feel the running feet
and know humanity still survives
and reveres the Mother I have become part of

Beltane Eve

Beltane Eve

My children come together in the night

embraced by My full moon's light

Passions to fill

with consummate skill

Some a life to create

others to celebrate a mate

always to rejoice on this day

every eve of the first of May

My Horned One spreads desire

and those who hear burn with fire

They know the call to the Great Rite

those who see with more than sight

for Love is the law, Will is the way

and always there is time to play

Holy need not be solemn and ridged

Worship need not be stolid and fridged

for Ours is the Reverence of Nature

which is both youthful and mature

So come into Our forest shrine

eat your fill, drink the wine

bring your love out onto the physical plane

and Bless the Earth where you have lain
