Far below the sea bashes its head
Against the cliff face
Like some caged animal in a frenzy
The sky, dark and crowded
The ever changing pattern of clouds
Sweeping swiftly across the land
Leaving a wake of sodden pastures
And brimming water ways
In the silence of a dripping leaf
Howling gales with foreboding screams
Whipping at the trees
With an erratic powerful force
The moon cowers behind the velvet clouds
Shedding what little light it can
Through the savagery of the storm
Flashes of lightning light up the landscape
Exposing the hidden recesses of night
To the crack of the thunder's whip
Yet on a rocky outcrop
High on a hill
My circle of friends has gathered again
Naked
Showing perfect trust
In each other and the elements
The manifestation of the almighty
And the wonders of nature we call Mother
And know as ourselves
The low moans of the winds dying fury
Incorporate themselves with our own
A symphony of nature's best
The rain filled grail is passed amongst us
We each drink from it with a kiss
Like a charged elixir of a life force
The liquid races through our veins
It sends shivers up and down our bodies
Until we are at one with Mother
The power and the might of the storm
Passes and all is still
The wind ravaged land
Settles and begins to heal
New life sprouts from the old
In a cyclic motion of eternal life
And so there is balance, peace and motion
No need to mourn the dead
They are already awakening elsewhere
In the subtle silence and stillness
Bread and cheese is passed
Then in nature's way
We indulge in the most physical and spiritual
Manifestation of Mother's pleasures
Raising again a storm of power
The racing wind and flashing light
The energy and the flowing of loves juices
Making us whole, our group as one
The early morning chorus of the birds
And the stirrings of the forest creatures
Slowly begins to dominate the air
As the first rays of warmth
Creep forward over the horizon
Bringing forth the birth of a new day
And as it is born our meeting dies
The circle meets and is unbroken
We part our ways, only to meet again
The sun forever chasing the moon
Reveals in Her light what He has hidden
As the Horned Gods call has claimed
Many a life in His presence
But also he shelters us and reflects
Her beauty to be with us at night
And as She chases Him
He too revolves around us chasing Her
Forever moving in a balanced circle.
