Day 17

Brighid, at the gate

cloaked and quiet

enter

I am bid

You stoke the flames

keeping me warm
wond'ring
expectant

Burning bright as flame
inside my eyes
down deep
I am mute





Smoke-sharp is your tale
enfolding me
strongly -
securely

Enclosing and silent
quiet secrets
leading,
ever...in



Ashen from the fire
spiraling in
again
and again


~inspired by Brighid on Day 17 as Katie kept the flame
