Candlemas Song

Posted by on in SageWoman Blogs
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.
