When sadnesses besiege me
At the dying of the light
And starlight illuminates
The ending of the day
Then star-crossed lovers
Quietly drift away.

Sigh silently out of sight
Of mirrors, water, eyes
And I will find, momentarily,
humankind loses its disguise.

We spin and whirl,
dance like hemlock in the hay,
we are Witch and Wicca and Wizard
we sway beneath the moon, all night, all day.

Dream our dreams away.
For all that was lost
Is summoned a-new
Pentacles set aflame tonight
the sky, the earth, the light.

Time and tide and star-shine do not lie.
Warp & weft weaves its way across the sky,
I turn towards the dying of the light,
The goddess in the moon deceiving,
As light bends and curves — 
Our aphrodite-night occurs.
