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

The Wind

I saw you at the window

For a moment flashing by

As you swept across the night sky

On your way to meet the moon

As you rode your hair shown silver

And your cloak flew wild behind,

Your horse was dark as midnight

As it galloped neath the gloom,

And on toward the sunrise

Without waiting for reply

From the messenger sent to you

With a golden yellow star

You traveled on till daybreak

I lost you in the sun

Now I must wait till eventide

To signal you to come

And meet your fellow traveler

Who rides from age to age

And wishes to accompany you

On Faerie escapades.
