Re: Fox and Hare
I really enjoyed this piece. A good command of language with fascinating imagery.
Quote:
With naked feet on sacred ground, we dance to beating drums;
With arms raised high and voices loud, a spiral we've become;
To draw the power from the Earth and send it out again;
To work the magic of our hearts and heal a wounded land.
|
Quote:
For on this ground, witches once burned and wise old women hung;
To wash these blood stains from the ground, our magic has begun;
For 'tis not vengeance that we seek, nor malice in our hand;
Only to free our sisters dear, to again walk the land.
|
wise old women hung - you could probably remove "old" from this phrase, as it pulls away from the flow of the line and isn't *overly* necessary in my eyes.
Quote:
Hands in the air, feet to the ground;
Voices make a sacred sound,
Drums and fire to fill the air,
Tonight a truce 'tween Fox and Hare.
|
Quote:
For us to heal, we must forgive the damage that's been done
By those whose hearts were gripped in fear, if we are to be one;
For never, while upon this Earth, should any walk alone
And are we all not children dear of Maiden Mother Crone?
|
Quote:
So come Christian, Muslim, Atheist, and join us in our dance
And celebrate our common lives while there is still a chance;
For Hate and Fear wait not their turn to crush us in their hand
And only love and tenderness can save a dying land.
|

Hands in the air, feet to the ground,
Voices make a sacred sound,
Drums and fire to fill the air,
Tonight a truce 'tween Fox and Hare.

I already said it but I will say it again, I just loved this. Whatever I marked in red, are suggestions to help with the flow or word order.
