Working a Mystery
Written June 26th, 2002




As I walked in the room, I whispered
'you know the words, you know the ways'
as energies stirred, reminding me
long ago, I chose this path to take

They waited at the quarters, watching
as I gazed around this room I'd made
years had gone by since I painted the lines
these symbols, this circle of sacred space

It was like no time had passed at all
since I'd walked between the worlds
with ease and grace the elements came
and once again listened to my words

The gates were open, the circle closed
energies gathering above the cauldron
my hands weaving and voice intoned
to contain the energies I'd called in

Scents of Dragon's Blood and Myrrh
surrounding me in swirls of mist
enchantments brewing in my mind
words sung softly from my lips

Chanting down to the final moments
intentions focused, visualization keen
I knew this was the right moment
to let the power free to do it's thing

Releasing the energies into the night
for the manifestation to begin
I whisper "So Mote It Be"
as the spell flies away on the wind

The quarters released, the circle open
I stop for a moment to take it all in
the scent of the room, glow of the candles
finally I'm at peace with myself once again
