Sojourner's Tale

The traveler goes a sojourning

She journeys near and far

She gathers all her countrywym

To share their faring talk

They meet around the circle

In the midnight of the fire

And tell of how each learned

Her way to find her circlet tie

One learned so by her mother's lap

And one her father's knee

One stole away in dead of night

To set her own heart free

A lady dressed in robes of green

Did find her way inside

By kneeling down on bended knee

And silver found her knight

Another sat in silence there

Among the forest trees

Upon a rock she stayed her till

Her spirit came to speak

For such the ways to circlet come

More numerous than sands

That trim the mighty oceans

And spill out onto the lands

And should you go a sojourning

To seek your soul in rest

This traveler bids go in peace

May find your spirit blessed

~~~your fellow traveler

Sister Spirit, Hear Me Calling...a song

Sister Spirit, can you hear me

I am calling out your name

Will you answer to the wind speak

When it calls to you again

Can you hear me in the winter

Through the snowflake's silent fall

Can you hear me in each new bud

As the springtime brings it's thaw

Sister Spirit hear me calling

I am calling out your name

Will you meet me in the dawning

In the place where spirits pray

When I call will you come near me

When you hear me speak your name

For you know me as I know you

I am calling you again

Can you hear it in the forest

Hear it rustling through the trees

In the waves out on the ocean

Hear me calling o'er the sea

Sister Spirit let your heart lead

For it always knows the way

To your answers to your questions

From before and for always

Sister Spirit I am calling

Will you answer to your name

You will know me in the wind speak

In the circle's centered place

The Faerie's Ball

Come dance with me

And we'll be free

Don't be afraid of the fall

I've lit the way

To the forest glade

Follow along, it's not far

Come let us spin

Our weaver's tales

And laugh into the night

The midnight mists

Will hide our view

Till we are out of sight

Come let us play

Along the way

The path is deep and wide

Most certainly

Say you'll come with me

To the Faerie's Ball tonight

Faerie's Dance

Slowly, softly, tiptoe now

Through the grasses tall and blowing,

Whispering to call you, now

Careful to watch where you're going.

As in silence you draw near,

In the clearing's moonlight glowing,

Tiny moonbeams shimmer where

The aged willow tree is bowing.

There as soon as you appear,

You see beside the river flowing,

Faeries dance, then disappear

Quickly, lest you spy their going.

Just as soon they reappear,

Laughter twinkling, eyes full knowing

Of the game they love to play

When a stranger comes unknowing,

To their circle, night or day

A mystery's delight in showing,

Just enough to spin one's head.

Until they tire of games of ploying,

And slowly slip then off to bed.
