Oestra

Spring a time of celebration
When planting comes to mind
We watched the bulbs, the sets of rockets
Rapidly unwind
Spring has sprung
The vernal season
An innovation for
The freshness and the greenest
The modernity, the raw

The great Germanic goddess
watches over
light and dark
Re birth it is everywhere
Just go walk in the park
Earth air fire and water
The cosmogenic thing
Continuance in action
See what it does bring

Such perpetuation
Unceasing cycles and
Utter transformation
Right across the land
Nurturing and stable
Abide rest and remain
Early blooms and blossoms
And green shoots once
Again

Crocuses and Daffodils
And Echinacea too
Golden Seal and Hibiscus
An amulet will do
Hyacinth and Tulip
Everywhere we go
Fertility the Rabbits
The March Hare
Now on show

The wheel of the year
Is paramount
The
Sabbats help us see
Here at Roll Rights
By the standing stones
we need to be
Holding hands the speaking stick
The circle and our date
Plenteous and luxuriant
And beginning to
Pullulate

A soft and petalled carpet
An attractant for the Bee
The Wasp the dainty Lace Wing
Who remain entirely free
The frost may still surprise us
An icy blast maybe
Nobody is ever sure
We just imagine and we see
