The Flame Haired Solstice Dreamer

Cold winter brings the Everfrost and jewels every tree
In a forest new as birth and old as old can be
A flame~haired dreamer wanders there and shelters from the wind
And spins her dreams around the trees to break the ties that bind
She takes her thread and spins anew and how the Greenwood smiles
As she spins a spell for freedom and for her spirit Wylde

The dreamer finds an ancient oak and shelters in his lee
In a forest new as birth and old as old can be
Tis summer now and birdsong weaves its magick through her spells
And humming bees drum drowsily in the foxglove's bells
The dreamer sits beneath the oak with yarn upon her knee
And spins and knits and weaves her dreams and sets her spirit free

***
"When birds fall from the sky and the animals are dying, a new tribe of people...shall come unto the earth from many colors, classes, creeds, who by their actions and deeds shall make the earth green again. they will be known as the warriors of the Rainbow"

*going off with swampy in our little house on wheels for camping trips~we are packing up the van today for a short trip*

*swimming~but not in nasty, chemical infused pools~drop me in the sea on a sunny day and i can stay there for hours!*

*music~mainly folk music, fiddles, banjos, penny whistles and bodhrans of course! i always have music playing; on my lap top, ipod or radio. when i go to bed i always have on radio 4 which is not something i ever thought i would listen to ten years ago!*

Oh I love your favorite things. I wish I lived in a time long ago too when I search my ancestrial roots. Times seemed so much more simple in the past. I am especially drawn to the American Civil War Era and think somehow I must have belonged their.
Camping of course is a fun time for me, I love being outside with nature all around.
Your list goes on and we share a lot of favorites. Thanks for posting them.

All things share the same breath~the beast, the tree, the man, the air shares its spirit with all the life it supports.
