Page 4 of Within the Veil

"...As passion swells with quickened blood

As summer leads to longing

The solstice sun shall mark the time

When Oak shall bow to Holly.

Into their eyes the light of love

Into their hearts sweet passions' flame

Into their kiss a fevered moment

In their embrace, Her Holy Name.

By seed and bud, by fruit and flower,

That all may spiral through rebirth

With milk of moon they spill their power

Their love is poured upon the earth.

As the chill moves on the wind

That heralds winter's cloak

The solstice sun shall mark the time

When Holly bows to Oak.

Into their eyes the light of love

Into their hearts sweet passions' flame

Into their kiss a fevered moment

In their embrace, Her Holy Name.

... lovers in a sacred ring...

Desire whirling, hot and wild.

Golden Stag and Blazing Sun,

Verdant kiss and quickened blood

Expanding light and mote of dark...

Storm Faerywolf

What of the Dark Court?

Storms, and Fire, and rains of blood

Sharp thorns on root, leaf, and bud

Piercing swords that cut at every end
