Yule is the time of the Winter Solstice, when the Sun is at it's lowest in the sky although I feel at it's brightest especially in the snow!!
Snow falls across the Earth, which in Spring will bring rebirth,
As the snow melts and reveals a new world as yet unseen!
Beneath the Earth the world stirs anew,
As the dark Mother births the Sun Child
At dawn he shines with hope and glory
And so is told the Green Man's story.
His child and He shine light o'er the Earth
A time for the Solar Rebirth
Let us rejoice with mirth!
The Holly King hands reign to the Oak
A very different kind of bloke!
His strength and love is from above
Mistletoe, his sacred herb
The Yule Log of Oak we burn
On this night for all to learn
Of His wisdom, might and glory
And so is told the Green Man's story.
The Cailleach awaits the Stags arrival
In hollow hill with fire burning
For Her Lord Her heart is yearning
Blessings are made atween the two
For the coming year
Graceful are the Deer
The Horned One brings His gift
Of light and life to give Her a lift
And so is told the Green Man's story
As the dawn shines o'er the world
The Spirit of the Hare appears in gold
The beauty of His glorious light
Has been long awaited through the night
Bringing new hope for all humanity
With the Sun Child's spirituality
May this usher in a new day
Bringing life a feeling so gay
And so the Green Man's story's told.
My own poem written this Yule 2011
