Crone

Lady well before her time,
Rock of Gibraltar in my mind.

Ancient wisdom woman
Stature of power and grace
Breathed life, birthing
Creation Mothers' place

Home for so many
Healed and renewed
Snow drops fairies dance
Where running water flows too

A tree house for sitting
Blessed to be with you
Nature sounds echo
In jungle of bamboo

Yellow Aconite awaken
Soil rich and true
Fertile fern forest
While memories leap through

Sacred Earth Mother
Sees faces in trees
Popular, Sage and Cedar
Send prayers to you please.

in memory of Doris Lynch (1910-2002), my good friend, companion, and one of the many significant Capricorn's in my life
