Joining Circle
Such timing? Synergy? Current draw?
Being the Manor House 'tween Henge and Grove
is a place called the 'Joining Circle' --
a place for drumming, stories of Bardic call,
and perhaps a mallow cremated or two.
It is used for many purposes --
occationally by friends of an intense
'Earth Based' view of eternity. (like next weekend)
Last year, to welcome and open all events,
m'lady Emrys and I decided to always
dedicate a 'Joining' -- a recommitment
of vows and hopes and more ...
I wrote this 'invocation' to begin this tradition --
Silent Joining
Sakin'el calls in many ways;
brief as Light past storm bursting,
ling’ring like an autumn sunset,
thick as cream on dusted cherries.
Come to me as an altar waiting.
Behold the candle flame of desire.
Ancient musk in incense praying,
cast a spell to guide our yearning,
Lotus and Falcon be as one.
Walk this circle inward -- outward
spiral prance round the fire's hiss,
enter this timeless nautilus
within chambered souls bound as one.
All paths cross within the forest,
all your journeys will take you home.
The stars will swirl in fine applause --
come embrace the Joining Circle.

Not bad at all for a Catholic, in fact it is an absorbing and exciting piece. Thank you for sharing it.

It is a rich and lyric joining you have with the lovely Lady Em, faucon . . . the thousand promised poems, this beautiful joining vow. I know you both know how lucky you are. Thank you for sharing some of the magic with us. You wrote this invocation last year and while you posted it here, I painted a nautilus with a lotus, surrounded by stars. Synchronicity? Synergy? The breath of something passing in the night? I wrote the poem for a site that is about the ocean and the beach, the painting followed. The nautilus and the stars were in the poem . . . I have no idea where the lotus came from.
LOTUS and Falcon be as one.
Walk this circle inward -- outward

The STARS will swirl in fine applause --
come embrace the Joining Circle.
faucon, I was raised in the Catholic tradition (and still practice). The importance, the spiritual bounty of ritual and symbolism are intact. Your piece is wondrously mysterious!
