On a Dark Moon in Cancer

Patherfinder Godsoul
Wandering guide
From moon you run
From sun you hide

Four petaled flower
Of rotting flesh
Shrieking hunger
Claws through death

Reaching fingers
Grasping hand
Basking, patient
Lies the land

Watching giants
Piercing eyes
Sliding in silence
Untangling minds

Red slices open
Black peeks through
Blazing sword
Sheathed anew

Dancing Goddess
Gap toothed smile
Cloak swirls over
Hearts beguiled

Tin men standing
On dust of gold
Cobwebs shrouding
Lores of old

Through it blazing
The eternal king
Compassion razing
Bones within

Dark hearts beating
Mirrored breath
Who’s competing
In the land of Death

Sound breaks over
Forgotten stones
Truth comes calling
From broken homes

Slit eyed bleating
At the break of dawn
Storm clouds receding
From the cups of horn

And here’s a glimmer
Of what came before
Red spire rising
A dark wooden door

Who will enter
Who remain behind
Trapped in amber
A thin black line

Just when we begin
To breathe once more
The crooked hand beckons
From behind the Whore

But she is softness
Wrapped in night
Welcome comfort
Consoling light

Stoneacorn (Xander)

These songs, poems, and reflections offer an insight to who I am and are my autobiography. I am a poet, a song writer, a witch. I dance my Wyrd in my practice; in how I choose to live; in who I share my moments with. My heart is black, white, grey and purple like the stone beneath my feet, the bones of Grandfather Green. My eyes contain her Stars and her deep dark well as I straddle the hedge and listen to the winds. My form is the tree that connects all realms, clothed in holly and oak. I am Stoneacorn
