Celtic Moon Sisters

Dark and quiet 
Immense and towering 
The trees add to the blackness all around me
My bare feet revel in the lush cool grass 
As I wander, aimlessly 
But feel the pull of gentle magic 
Are there Celtic moon sisters out here tonight?
Come out from behind the massive ancient standing stones 
I want to dance hand in hand 
In a circle of kinship and love 
We’ll generate the power from inside the Stonehenge stones 
Even though they’re far away 
They answer our call 
As the wind lifts our soft hair from around our shoulders
To tease our flushed faces, damp from our dancing 
The moon bestows her bright white light 
Bouncing off the midnight blue of the forest behind us
Filling us with power and excitement 
We instinctively know the steps of this dance 
Souls swelling with joy and abandon 
The real world fading away into the night 
Mythical creatures materialize in this new place that no one believes in 
Angels with opal colored wings outstretched in the sky
Pixies and Elves dancing amongst us
Their high pitched giggles barely heard
Tumbling in the wind, mixing with our own laughter 
Tiny sparkling bits of hummingbird shaped flames
Float down and fill the spaces between us 
Musical strains of beauty that bring a tear to the eye 
Ah, my Ireland
Fairy circles found in the dewy morning grass at sunrise 
Left behind from our revelry in the deepest hours of night 
Causing bewildered looks on faces of the straight-laced as they glance 
Unbelieving 
Then walk on and shrug it all away
