we are the bonfire on the mountain the light in the waning days we are the chthonic mothers the crones singing lullabies under dark moons we are the eyes on trespass the elder judges, pockets brimming with vindication we are the keepers of truth the guardians on the gates of futures unbroken we are the warriors of mercy the carriers of clemency from this forgiving earth we are the circle dance the hands conjoined in hope and laughter we are the creators the abundance of miraculously flowing life we are the bonfire and we are blazing our wisdom in this ocean of nescience the path is there to follow
The last of National Poetry Month for Walpurgis Night.
