SPRING'S DANCE

Enter Maiden of Spring. Welcome!

From Cronewoman's winter white bones

you emerge after year's dark half.

Dawn yawns, you soar into being.

You tickle awake fabric floor

of primrose and polyanthus

with your damsel dance declaring

colour reigns, a vibrant new world.

Bold, sure-footed, you Cerridwen

glide through the land leaving sweet scent

as the fragrance of your presence

changes whatsoever you touch.

Fields flourish, flowers bud blossom,

trees leap into leaf, while moorhens

count their seven eggs, not yet hatched

in the twig nest next to the pond.

Vitality is your password

bringing vigour into all life;

a renewed cycle that says YES,

connecting spirit and matter.
