Watching The Slow Changes

In the cold, grey winter days of January within me grows a deep longing for more light. Radiant golden sunlight kissing the land.

I enjoy watching the small slow changes ~ from winter to spring ~ the time when I first notice the slow lingering sunlight of the early year, the new grass and seasonal flowers and the first sweet laughter of spring in the air.

Imbolc

Pale winter sun lingers, lengthening each day
On twig and branch new buds begin to swell
Songbirds give voice, each striving to excel
Seed senses change in its deep bed of cold clay
Earth goddess weaves her magic to propel
Reborn cycle of her womb along its way.

Life returns in every tree’s slow thought
In pond and stream the dance begins again
Spring flowers show their purpose to proclaim
A new season comes; winters reign is short
And darkness no longer exercises any claim
Green growth dispels grey moods it brought.

“Everyday Goddessing  is about sharing magical techniques and sacred wisdom with other beautiful Goddess women. I believe that within every woman there is a goddess, a wise woman, beautiful, creative, powerful, with a deep soul, and that everything we need and are looking for is already inside  each of us.” – Rose Arizmendi
