Wheel of the Year Poem

I wrote this some time ago planning on using it as a chant in conjunction with beads

The as yet Unnamed Poem

Earth brings stability and strength from the North
Magic and mystery my song calls them forth

Air brings clarity and wit from the East
The power of the tempest that yearns for release

Fire brings passion from the South
A raging inferno, a kiss on the mouth

Water brings intuition from the West
Of springs and of pools of healing and rest

Spirit brings me closer to the heart of my being
Through the centre of the circle, felt without seeing.

The Goddess brings the world to life
She's mother daughter sister wife

The Maiden brings the silver crescent
Flirtatious and free, the wild adolescent

The Mother brings the brimful moon
Full and fertile, she is woman in bloom

The Crone brings out the moon's dark guise
She's the aged matriarch, respected and wise.

The God brings life unto the Mother
He's father husband son and brother

The Green Man brings the forest wild
The maypole dance, the heathen child

The Oak king brings the waxing year
Summers warmth is nearly here

The Holly King brings the years remission
Winter wins the competition

Imbolc brings the ice and snow
Plants and trees begin to grow

Ostara brings the spring time flowers
Day and night have equal hours.

Beltane brings the lover's tryst
The fertile earth, the Goddess kissed

Litha brings the longest day
The reigning sun lights our way

Lammas brings the corn and grain
The dying king gives up his reign

Mabon brings the autumn haze
equinoctial shorter days

Samhain brings the final harvest
Lay a place for an absent guest

Yule brings the longest night
The sun reborn at dawns first light.
