Night unfurls
As the wind swirls
Creaking like an old spring
As the birds sing
Sleepily like a musical note
As the trees rustle
restlessly like an old worn coat
As the raindrops beat upon the ground
As the waves crash all around
Like a giant calling from a hillside place
We are standing in this space
As darkness steals into the day
Like thousands of starlings
Descending our way
We stand here together in natures calm
Feeling our breath, arm in arm
As new moon heralds growth, hope and power
And daylight grows like a bud into flower
And days lengthen
Our selves strengthen
As we start to wake from our winters sleep
Sharing energy with ancestors in the deep
Come round you Selkie, join the Fae
As now night equals day
Come dance long into the night
Welcoming the growing light
