“Daughters of the Moon,
children of the Night,
rise like dew together
until the morning's light.
The owl's cry is our anthem,
our altar is the sky.
The Great Mystery is our Mother
to whom now, sisters, fly.”

“Bearings
You are my dear compass,
who knows no way but true,
so when I'm lost and drifting,
I find myself in you.
Yet when I ask you, fearful,
if I should set you free,
imagine my surprise to hear
you take your north from me.”

“Lamium
Migraine dreams, jagged seams,
A badge of love and pain.
Or dreamy eyes, sleepy eyes,
Drooping, closing, losing light.
Packages scattered under the tree,
Some torn open, some tied tight.
Is there a heartbeat in those purple veins?
Are those embryos or mouths or rosary beads?
The color of my first dress, gathered with love,
Fairy cups stirred with blades of grass,
notes clustered on a windy score,
Three blooms, three friends, alas!
Grape flowers, cloud flowers, love flowers,
Paper parasols upside down, a butterfly herd
Stopped to rest by a deep green pool.
Petals small as a child's tears good-bye,
Dropped stitches everywhere
From a blanket the color of sky.”

“It is a delicious thing to write, to be no longer yourself but to move in an entire universe of your own creating. Today, for instance, as man and woman, both lover and mistress, I rode in a forest on an autumn afternoon under the yellow leaves, and I was also the horses, the leaves, the wind, the words my people uttered, even the red sun that made them almost close their love-drowned eyes.”

Keep foisting, Stephanie :-) And I can't imagine a friend with better reading taste -- The Witch of Blackbird Pond is one of my all-time favorites!
You are so welcome. I bought a copy as soon as I got my next paycheck and since then have been foisting it on as many people as I think would appreciate it. So far all good reviews back. ^_^ Thank you for your friend request; it took me a moment to figure out that an actual author was trying to get in touch with me. lol.
Thanks so much! It means a lot when a reader takes the time to get in touch with an author. And good luck with your own writing -- poems are the best way I know to get inside your own feelings and give them as a gift to others. Keep feeling them!
I read "Black Pearls: A Faerie Strand" a few days ago! I really like them! I hope my public library has more of your books.
