I have found a few that I like and thought I would share. These are not mine, just wish I could write this well. Feel free to add your favorites here.

The Dancers
by Morrigan West, 22 August 2001

Dawn chasing close on the heels of the night
The stars and moon reflected in the ocean blue.
There, black 'gainst the rising sun,
Danced and sung the children of the goddess.
In frenzied circles they did dance,
And in ecstasy they did sing.
For theirs was the knowledge
That gives the bird its voice.
There was everything to live for,
Everything to hold dear.
Their brethren were the wind,
That plays amongst the grass,
The water that holds mysteries deep,
The fire that is the flame of creation,
The earth that is our Mother.
As I watch I too do know that,
I am but a child of the Goddess.
And so I and my kith and kin,
The followers of the Old Path,
Shall dance when the Moon is full.
Dance, and sing and rejoice,
For the sake of every moment,
For the sake of every Dawn.

Elements
By Marilyn Robinson © 7-16-03

To take from the Earth..
is to nourish thy self and others.

To feel the Wind..
is to be free and enjoy all life.

To light a Flame..
is to find your way in the dark.

To dance in the Rain..
is to bathe in the tears she can no longer hold back.

To know the Spirit..
is to take in all Elements and live life in harmony.

Do you know the Spirit?

Seasons
by K.Shaw, copyright 2002

The cold north wind begins to blow
Lady Winter pulls up her blanket of snow
She tucks the land in nice and tight
The land then sleeps through winter's plight

For several months the land will sleep
But hush my darling don't you weep
Soon...the land agian will wake
Lovely flowers Mother Spring doth make

She sends her warm, nurshing showers
That are full of her growing powers
The snow crocus is the first to wake
From it's head, winter's plight it doth shake

At this time the faries begin thier work
and thier chores they never sherk
They wake the land and paint it bright
So open your eyes and enjoy the sight!

The days begin to grow longer
As summers sun grows stronger
Children play in the sprinklers stream
As summer birds sit and preen.

Summers end is drawing near
The fall colors will soon be here
Autumn comes with it's colorful arrays
And the night begins to overtake the days

Then tha days begin to cool
For this is Mother Natures rule
The leaves turn red, yellow, brown and gold
As summers days begin to grow old

Jack Frost prepares his paints and brush
The animals begin their harvest rush
Lady Winter again will soon be here
But don't you cry my little dear.

For the circle of seasons you see
Are ment for the enjoyment of you and me
For Mother Nature is fair and wise
And she always creates a new surprise!!!
