Otherworld

As I let Raff out this morning I saw the mist and it called.

mist

It said "Come out to play, come find the cusp of the Otherworld just the other side of  your door"

And I went.

branches

And I saw how my world melted away, how now empty branches had poems to say.

field

I saw in the farmer's field rows of hay laid bare, lines to circles of stone that aren't there.

trackway

I saw looming barrows just off in the mist, where I know for certain they do not exist.

webs

And down by the river the wild geese were calling, my soul was flying as raindrops were falling.

river

This liminal world of mystery and shift will fade as the sun comes and dew starts to lift.

willow

But I know deep inside in my heart made of myth, there are ways I can wander in stones, barrows and mist.

Mabon

Dance with the WindBirds

Circle and Spin

windbirds

Feel the breeze through your feathers

A chill on your skin

Come stand at the Altar

Of Nature's great worth

nature's altar

Touch the sky with your fingers

Smell the scent of the Earth

scent of the earth

Hear the land sighing as

The Wheel takes a spin

land sighing

Sit quiet, Reflect,

reflect

on the bounty brought in

bounty

As the leaves turn to yellow

To Copper

To Gold

leaf

Rejoice in the Season

Nature's story is told.
