Okay, this one that I didn't write, but I like the flow and rhythm of it. I think that some on this site may enjoy it as well.

I raise my arms in greeting
As She slips up through the night
The rounded Moon Of Mystery
A Glowing silver disk of light
My spirit answers to Her call
And longs for wings to fly
That I might seek Her secret place
Whose symbol is the sky
A place of hidden secrets,
Of sacred Mysteries old,
A place I knew in other times,
In temple wisdom no more told.
I struggle to remember
All the things I learned before,
The forgotten mysteries of the moon,
The Goddess and her Lore.
Although my arms reach skyward,
I turn inward towards Her voice.
I tread the inner labyrinth,
Trusting in my choice.
"Seek not without,but deep within."
The words are soft and clear.
"Keep faith with Me for thirteen months,
The Mother`s Sacred Year."
I watch her through her cycles,
As I did in lives before,
follow down her moonbeam path
To the secret inner door.

This lovely work of poetry is from
Moon Magick by D.J. Conway.

Not bad. It has a nice flow to it and is well-told

Well, it came from a site I found through ringsurf about moon phases, magic and rituals. I liked it so I copied it and saved it. I was doing some research for my site to fill out my Wicca and Pagan links section and came across this one. Wow! There's a lot of interesting stuff out there and some of the sites play music that I would really like to find out where they got it. Follow directions below:

ringsurf

Then click on the health link under the categories section. Once in health, click on the spiritual link and it has seventeen communities. Go to the second or third listed community called moon magic and click on it. You want the link under that that is titled mystical moon, something like that. Click on it and near top of next page you'll see 5 links or so about preview, previous, next, view member, join and you click on the view member and it will take you to the site. Her main site is Book of Shadows and she has a page on All Hallows Eve things too.

Sorry, that's the long way to get there, but I haven't quite figured the proper coding for this link yet as it's rather long. This one of the ring sites and at the bottom of the page you can choose to go to next site or previous site, list sites and things like that.
Otherwise, just copy and save the poem anywhere you want. The book its from and the author is listed at bottom of poem, but I don't think it's available in audio, but you can search.

Thank you for sharing that poem. It's written very well, and uses very powerful imagery.
