St. Brigid's Day Poem


IMBOLC, AT THE WELL


Water soothe my burning thoughts

Fire, stream o’er the rocks, through the crevices

Of my frozen will --

Bark and lichen

Silt and earth

Steady the pilgrim way.


Water, receive these weary feet

Bless this brow, these eyes

These cheeks.


Laurel and pine

Hide my grief

In the weft of fragrant bough and leaf,

Weave me a new fabric

Whisper to me of tomorrow.
