Upon The Rise & Resurrection Of Pagan Poetry
THIS NIGHT, INVISIBLE
an
invocation
a
trance
at dusk
the souls
wander in
1 by 1
in a procession
of
tragedy
faith
&
loss
where the clocks
all time
has stopped
and
the dance
begins which
never ends
moves beyond
the flesh
your gods
as
sound –
words –
voices-
writhe-
wound –
annihilate
worship
a once empty
space
a void

maniacally
through the
vast & vaulted
air
as the
music endures
plays
on
where
there is
no kingdom
no glory
no power
false angels
or starflecked demons
the life after
ever after
where
there is only
you & I
in this night
invisible
this night
unseen
and so
in my grief
my sorrow
& as a friend
I invite you
with all love
and all respect
imperfect
and un-true
as always
in whatever mirror
conjured
this night
all beautiful
all living
or dead
you are
desired
you are
loved
without
end

Ashes from the fire
She rests for awhile
To change the seasons
From winter to light
~ R.M. Engelhardt
SOLSTICE
Today
We bless all
Things all darkness
All light
The days
Have grown shorter
And the night
Stays to remind
Us to rest & to
Change our
Ways for the
Better
For the future
For humanity
Animals children
Our world
Today
We rid ourselves
Of all negativity
All sources of
Hate
So let us
Do just that
And bury them
All beneath
The frozen earth
As we pray
For better days
And as our fires
Grow in solace
Theirs shall
Disappear
Back into
The shadows
To remain
~ R.M. Engelhardt
