Incantation

The way mother nature smiles
  leaves us happy through the miles 
  that we must walk
       before the talk leaves us
  bleary, our minds weary 
   A softly spoken prayer 
  and the light upon the hill 
means we're almost there
    Our souls rejoicing still
voices promise us peace 
fear will cease 
    before the darkness 
blinds our eyes 
   the air fills with sighs
We dance beneath the moon 
  to an elfin tune
Coming home once more 
Quick - open the door!

Thanks for your comments and alert on my poem Difficult Standards. The last line, Gratefum, loyal than man" is to be with six syllables. I have corrected it like "more grateful and leal than men: Thanks
