-Rekindling-
(A poem from our forum; toot 1/2)
Now is the time
To drink the dancing fire
The one that mocks us with its reel-steps
As tired, we huddle, frozen small;
Let's drink the fire
And eat the light
And dance against the winter.
Cold is the hour
The wolf-packs they have come
To howl and circle us by moonlight
Where e'er we sit or, lonely, stand;
Let's howl a song
To make them fear
We'll sing against the winter
Skies threaten storms,
The nights may yet be darker
As lonely souls as yet unknown,
Are scattered in the moonlit frost
Come, hear the song
And see the fire;
We'll harbour you for winter.
Now is the time,
To kindle back the fire
The one whose embers welcome strangers
That warms us all, unwavering;
Rekindling,
We'll light a flame
To blaze away the winter
And we'll burn it into spring.
