Energies in the circle

@uootem


The fire is raging this night
                        the mystical winds are chanting
                                    sister moon is full of her reflective light
      as I stand in the circle which I call my soul...
free of mind and body... for they have no purpose here.

seductive dancers enter the circle
                        from past lifetimes and this
                                      as if to capture me, with perhaps nothing at all
    still they lead me back and forth across time with their movements
through the esoteric history of my Self.

My mind searches for clues and answers
                          as my spirit dances in rhythm of ages past
                                      the drums... heartbeats, but more
      memories of long ago... insights to the future
but is there really a key to be found in such madness?

I feel the breezes provoking my dreams
                          I see an eagle... my guide of spirit
                                      he shows me the ghosts of ancients, and me
      soaring with wings of wisdom... that I had all but forgotten
except in symbols that still haunt me so.

Yesterdays create today and promises of tomorrow
                          the regrets will die with the smoke as it rises and dissipates
                                      and the voice of the winds are clear and loud
        but can I understand its calling in time?
or will a wisp of wind carry away all interpretation?

as I stand in the circle which I call my soul...
                          and perform the rituals that once held such meanings
                                      and still echo with sacredness and awe
        as I sense the energies in the circle
and seek to absorb the truth once found on solid ground.
