In spring the birds will wait for love to come
As rays of sun like golden fingers pluck and strum
The strings of nature's new guitar of life
And daffodils that sing in wakerife
To spring creating lazy hues
The shades of yellow winter's dues
Like washes fresh and new
From brush on canvas slew
The spring that nods
The art of gods
On Earth
Rebirth

A wild Pagan heart that beats strong
And dances to flutes of Pan.
The way of Old turned me from wrong
I'm proud to be Pagan.
From spirits surging through her core
Mother Earth made her call.
A gift of love revealed in lore
Of Ancients standing tall.
A wild Pagan heart that beats strong
And dances to flutes of Pan.
The way of Old turned me from wrong
I'm proud to be Pagan.
I found the true goddess of light
As I sought my answer.
Deep within the darkest night
Saw the silver dancer.
A wild Pagan heart that beats strong
And dances to flutes of Pan.
The way of Old turned me from wrong
I'm proud to be Pagan.
A vision to my eyes so blind
Led to the Pagan path.
Away from the past, a new wynd
To a place at her hearth.
A wild Pagan heart that beats strong
And dances to flutes of Pan.
The way of Old turned me from wrong
I'm proud to be Pagan.

Because you feel like you are living a lie
You think the world has turned away to die
The pain awash inside your mind sets free
The thoughts of dark hands paying law of three
For the wrong you've done, gods demand a price
The fee of all sin is paid in full, thrice
The soul lays bare to cursed returns as rite
Too late to feel regret and pray for light
Lest truth reveals the hope within your skin
And love replaces the way led by sin.

Forces of nature, hail to Thee,
From here on bended knee.
The Earth Mother graces us with life
To live free without strife.
The blessings surround us each day,
The tree spirits shelter our way.
The song of life is ours to dance
With passion and romance.
As our feet walk upon her soul
Let truth remain our goal.
In hope and faith let there be trust
The light of all life our lust.
So smile as you see Her and greet
The Earth sings 'Merry Meet'.
By the will of the gods ' Blessed Be'
With peace She lets us live free.

Proudly, in circle, they stand tall,
Aveb’ry, a Pagan’s hallowed hall.
For all my wrongs I will atone,
When in their midst, I’m not alone.
I feel their strength, absorb their power,
High above me Ancients tower.
Sanctuary of standing stone,
Sat in their midst, I’m not alone.
My age of youth has gone with time,
The magic still has flow and rhyme.
I learn with them the way of Crone,
Stood in their midst, I’m not alone.
Proudly, in circle, they stand tall,
Lost in their midst, I’m not alone.

From the deep she rises to greet the moonlight,
Inhaling breath of the lunar hour.
Embracing the ripples, shimmering bright,
In grace her power.
She comes, bidden, to our world in crisis,
The saving child, our lady of the lake.
Compassionate angel sent by Isis,
For all Mankind’s sake.

My Beloved I give you my heart
To entwine with yours from this day
As we join and become one
My path will be beside you all the way
My Beloved I give you my honour
It is you My Beloved that I trust
As the years roll by our love will grow
Times change we together will never fall to dust
My Beloved I give you myself
In our joyous and blessed handfast
To souls in union, one ring binds us
A love never ending, all eternity we will last
My Beloved I give you my love
No conditions, it is yours for all time
Beside you and with you I want to be
Tenderness and grace our lives we entwine
My Beloved I give you all that I am
Precious and blessed by the Goddess above
Mind Body Spirit and Blood
One together bound in Her tender love
As we stand united amongst the Stones
There circle all around us, where we belong
My Beloved my dream lover
With you I am safe from the world's wrong

She sings to me in silver tones
She calls the merry tune
The maidens dance before the crones
To greet the rising moon.
The goddess grants me magic rite
Divine enchantress bring
The blessings forth in beams of light
And shine upon my ring.
She sings to me in silver tones
She calls the merry tune
The maidens dance before the crones
To greet the rising moon.
I cast the gifts of magic lore
Embrace your will and love
The Ancient ways from times before
Still form as peace above
She sings to me in silver tones
She calls the merry tune
The maidens dance before the crones
To greet the rising moon.
The way of crone, the aged and wise
Skyclad within the dune
My life is Hers in loving eyes
My Goddess is the moon
She sings to me in silver tones
She calls the merry tune
The maidens dance before the crones
To greet the rising moon.

I gazed in awe upon the azure skies
And watched the worlds above align for me
The spirits wove on Earth where darkness lies
The threads of nature into tapestry
An ancient king surveys the hillside view
He guards the gate of hallowed temple ground
As magic joins with life in arcane blue
The keys to Avalon fall without sound.
As dreams subside and I awake mid stone
And hear the words each says to set me free
A message from the gods for man "atone"
The stones speak in their ancient tongue to me
I feel the flames of sin in pain of burns
Then peace as Avalon at last returns.

Prompt:
I gazed up to the sky and saw the heavens in alignment. I then looked down to the earth and realized we were weaving the sky into the tapestry of the land, recreating Heaven on Earth. I climbed to the top of a hill, which dominated the landscape, and beheld a marvellous temple of stone marking the exact point of merging energies."
I awoke!
Spirit speaks in many ways. I listened intently as I was guided from one stone to another, one message to the next, as the stones spoke their ancient tongue. And Avalon returned to Earth
