ENCHANTED ISLE

ENCHANTED ISLE

Enchanted isle
a travelling pilgrim’s shrine
at the crossroads of the Middle Sea
temple for the Goddess of the Earth
oracle of the mantic moon
where sarsen stones of silence
mark thresholds of land and sky
necropolis of hope
lifegiver to the dead.

In the fertile currents of this rock
as woman’s mysteries flow in blood
altars of double spirals
carve symbols of time returned
channels of ritual healing
in clairvoyant slumber
a priestess sleeps in trance
in this land of the Cosmic Mother
wisdom comes in dreams.
