Green man wisdom

Hazel means, seek wisdom deep inside and below
Ivy says, ask for support
Yew tells me, I have to go on
Where does this path lead?
Do I have to know?
Do I want to know?
Or should I just follow,
Trusting
Hoping
Knowing
Already

Here... there...

Beneath the surface tiny bubbles
Between rays of sunlight specks of dust
Above the clouds eagles
Beyond the horizon flickering stars
Beneath the surface fear
Between rays of sunlight joy
Above the clouds freedom
Beyond the horizon home
Beneath the surface my heart
Between rays of sunlight my soulA
bove the clouds my spirit
Beyond the horizon new territories

Seasons

A brisk breeze blows over bright blue blossoms
Bird song soars straight into the silent sky
Delicate clouds drift dreamily into a dawning day
Sweet spring sends sundry greetings
Bees buzz busily in the blistering heat
Frogs frolic freely in fair forest pools
Red roses reluctantly reach out ruby fingers
Strong summer scents flavour the streets
Murky mists mingle mind and matterSquirrels swiftly slip savoury nuts in storage
Hazelmice harvest honey hued hay
Autumn gives generous golden green gifts
Snow showers send streams of silent flakes
Bold bats brave bleak barren beaconsHarpers hail heaven with heroic hymns
Winter waves waxen white hands

Raven

Raven

Black eyed beauty
Glossy robe
Feathers so deeply hued
Strong and bold
High into the air you swing
Riding the storm
Loud your voice does ring
Great deeds you perform
Men bring you love and fear
What does your presence mean?
When I see you draw nearI only feel joy within
Raven

Bridhe's Green Mantle

The fields have been ploughed
Fat brown Earth
Ready to receive the seeds
Look, a shimmer of green
Signs of life
A promise of colour
And delicate flavour
And fruit in the fullness of time

Trees and bushes everywhere
Seem to stretch
And reach for the sun
Their branches bulge with buds
Signs of life
A promise of colour
And delicate perfume
And fruit in the fullness of time

My heart also feels the touch
Of Bridhe's gentle hand
The hard crust, the protective shell
Will soon burst
Sign of new growth
A promise of colour
And delicate flavour
And fruit in the fullness of time

Deep within

Deep within me
Is the source of living water
Bright as sunlight
Liquid as molten nielo
Cool as the sea breeze
Eloquent as my son
Refreshing as brown beer
Soothing like Bridhe's hand
Nourishing my soul
Feeding my hunger
Teaching my heart
Carrying my thoughts
To Tir n'An Og
Forming the being of my Self
Keeping the baby safe
For the day of her birth

Imbolc

Not a sound, all is quiet
The world holds its breath
Ice keeps a firm grip
When, oh when will it release me?

Close your eyes
Stay by the fire
Pull your clothes tight
Listen
Listen
Listen

Can you hear minute cracks
Appearing in the ice
In your soul
In the world

Through the crack you see
Milky white
Flame red
Coal black
And a bright smile
To warm your heart
To feed your soul
And inspire your mind
