Words to the Wise: Sharing Life, Lessons, and Observations

Words to the Wise is a collection of stories, observations and insight drawn from my own experience both in the past and in the present, together with my perspective on what I may have learned in the process. Occasional poetry and astrological insights will be included when appropriate. I welcome comments, suggestions and thoughts of all kinds and am happy to respond.

Candlemas Song

Candlemas

 

None can extinguish the candle now

it burns with an incandescent flame,

shining for life that is being renewed

as the Goddess works at her forge.

 

She sings as she brings in the light of the day.

The birds awaken to echo her song.

She sings of love and of spring to come,

after the battle is won.

 

Bless the candles and hold them high

They echo the light that fills this day

Forged from the flame of Goddess' fire

Sung into being with love.
