"Tree spirits"

by L Perfect, Kent 




 


"Silvery Birch shines with white bark
the delicate mark of the Goddess
Red berried Rowan, Lady of the Mountain
the quickening tree that delights the eye
enchants in red and green
the Oracle Alder prophecies truth
tells in ancient runes of a raven's memory
how Witching Willow , mystery tree
reveals the dreams of what will be

Cosmic Ash of feathery leaves
holds the keys to the Kingdom
Hawthorn, hawthorn Maying tree
bright guardian of Spring and
Safely sheltering hearts of Oak, come enter in
the leafy woodland realm of the Forest King
Where Holly, King of the Dark Half
grows evergreen life in the midst of death

Fresh green Hazel, poets tree
nutfulls of wisdom inspire me
so Vino veritas of Vine can
release the psychic sense of mine
as Ivy wanders through a maze
strong, tenacious, winding spirals
round the places that I follow till I'm lost
Slender reed, I need your help
to find direction, aim me arrow straght

To Elder Flower- herb Queen
the ancient Crone who works within
the Mother of the waning Moon
time to die, time to renew
the living reasons for the seasons of
the Spirit of the Trees"
