The Ash grabs all the light
\nIt can
\nIts pinnate leaves
\nProvide a plan
\nA dampish base
\nA lime rich soil
\nWhether Oak or Ash
\nIt seems to boil
\nDown to Ash when the liming
\nGrows
\nWhere Dogwood and Privet
\nAnd Spindle shows<\/p>\n
In Spring, Wood Pigeons
\nKnow a thing
\nOr two about the Ash
\nAnd bring
\nTheir aura closer
\nAnd rodents too
\nSeemingly do take on the view<\/p>\n
They reach for the sky
\nAnd do grow tall
\nThird moon of the Celtic
\nOne and all
\nAshbuds of March grow
\nVery black
\nTennyson noted that
\non track<\/p>\n
The freshest leaves
\nPlaced under pillows
\nSee psychic dreams
\nAnd waving willows
\nLate to leaf
\nNone before June
\nAny sign of frost
\nAnd the age old tune<\/p>\n
Sees fluttering forms
\nThe ground to bite
\nSeeker of spirit moon mother
\nMight
\nThe hanged man in Tarot
\nHung from one
\nA greenish hue
\nIn the morning sun<\/p>\n
A good straight grain
\nThe Druids wood
\nA perfect wand
\nAnd surely good
\nIn spells its focus
\nIs strength and we
\nFraxinus
\nA mighty tree<\/p>\n
Serpents will never
\nEver be seen
\nIn the shadow of Ash
\nHowever green
\nWhen the buds are green
\nThey pickle well
\nBut when black
\nThey cast a different spell<\/p>\n
Smooth pale grey bark
\nAs age creeps on
\nDo become fissured
\nThe smoothness gone
\nWithin the tissue
\nOf its roots
\nMagickal mycorrizal
\nShoots<\/p>\n
Lichens and mosses
\nLike to sweep
\nEnjoying the juices
\nAnd often creep
\nThe barks and nestle
\nThe goddess tree
\nThe Sun and Neptune
\nEver free<\/p>\n
Standing erect
\nThe crown will reach
\nIt needs the light
\nThe sun and each
\nAttracts the lightening
\nSo woe be you
\nTo shelter in storms
\nFor it be true<\/p>\n
Pigeons adore the
\nGoddess tree
\nIts really where they
\nLove to be
\nA very tough hard
\nWearing wood
\nTool handles
\nSnooker cue’s
\nAre good<\/p>\n
Poles of witches
\nThe besom too
\nAn ash bark infusion
\nmay loosen you
\nIts branches sweep backwards
\nAnd upwards at height
\nAlways seeking
\nThe precious light<\/p>\n
Nuin meaning Heaven
\nA link they say
\nBetween the gods and the humans
\nAnd the dead
\nAway
\nA key to curing loneliness
\nOf the human spirit
\nYes no less<\/p>\n
a solar amulet fashioned out
\nOf Two ash twigs
\nPut it about
\nOvercomes the Winter blues
\nThat lack of light
\nFor the Ash bad news
\nThe faeries appararently
\nStay away
\nThe tree of Tortu
\nA charm against drowning
\nOr so they say<\/p>\n
The fruits thst resembles
\nKeys tis said
\nHave the power to unlock
\nThe future led
\nBut they only grow in the
\nSecond year
\nSo timing wise
\nIt isnt clear<\/p>\n
The healing of Ash
\nIs its watery ways
\nA strong moon nature
\n“The flooding phase”
\nMarch is the month
\nOf the budding of trees
\nAnd when herbs are freshest
\nWhen inward thought
\nAnd expression of self
\nIs often sought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
