GREEN
The first new growth of plants peep through
they aren't too sure if its time or no
How do they sense the moment?
Brigid breathes her warmth upon them
she says "wake my children, tis almost time"
WHITE
The snow lies still upon the ground
fresh snow in places covering the new growth
white snowdrops dance unafraid in the chill
the snow protects as well as harms
new lambs bleat their welcome on Brigid's day
GOLD
the sun shines without warmth but the promise is there
each day it rises higher in the morning skies
gold of the daffodils as they unfurl their petals slowly
a blessing from Brigid and a promise of spring to come
Imbolc's maiden dancing in the sun and moon
BLUE
the morning sky when we open our eyes to the dawn
reflects the blue of the water trickling through the woods
emotions, feelings and tears akin to water,water of life
Brigid's well encompasses all within
Imbolc blessings at the turn of the wheel in to the light half of the year.
And as I send out on the cards with my water elementals:-
Of water came I,
from sea and ocean
lake and stream
to water you go when you wish to dream
WATER

This is so beautiful - and true! Green, white and gold, yes! Those are Bridgid's colors ... well .. maybe the deep blue of the healing well, too.
Thank you!

How do you pronounce imbolc?

Unfortunately, people stay away because they are so uncomfortable with serious disease. And that's the time you need them. Those folks who stay in touch will be friends forever.
Oh, how beautiful! Isn't this Poetry weaving amazing? It is like discovering treasure everywhere we turn!
