The time of the Imbolc

Deep beneath the Earth
Awakens the Maiden
She stretches and gasps a breath
She makes sweet sounds
She sits up and looks around
Mother, where are you?
Here my dear!
Let us go see the sun together
Bright beautiful sunshine
A blue sky white wispy clouds
The warmth of Spring is here

Deep in the house the Amma has been busy

All is well prepared
The hearth fire is lit
The candles are burning
The chalice full of mylk
White roses of peace
A warmth to Her skin in the firelight
All is clean and new
A night's work
A morning's glory
Welcome in the Spring
Out with the old
In with the new
Sugar and spice and all things nice
That's what little girl's are made of!
