Emma Goodridge-Hobson Poet Rhyme

Offerings To the Flames

Long ago our ancestors, 
waited for the time,
When it was  warm in spring 
To plant the grain, the fruit, the vine, 
The Earth, it is awakening 
Ere winter storm subside. 
Fallow fields are waiting 
for the seedlings to reside.
lighting up the flames now
in the season filled with fire, 
passion, love and fruitfulness, 
All fuel us with desire, 
As the flames go higher 
Throw  your offerings in the embers. 
As we thank mother nature 
for all the goodness which she renders.
