Seasons of the Witch
I heard the buzz of busy bees
The mist came through the budding trees
Spring was on its way
Flowers burst into colours bright
The land grew fruitful under blue skies
Summer had come
Leaves fluttered to the ground in shades of flame
The sun sank low on the horizon
Autumn had arrived
Rivers froze and trees were bare
Winter again had come
Death in the Forest
The antlered deer raised his great headHe sensed the nearness of the man
Great limpid eyes drooped to the ground
To see what lay ahead
Learned had he to read the prints of those who came to harm
His family they had all been killed by scavengers with hearts so cruel
No-one was left but him
He prowled the forest day and night to find another of his kin
But none there were
The Queen's Proclamation
Now upon this dismal scene
A host of fairies did appear
Amongst them Mab herself the Queen
She came to see the goings on
the feathered paths her domain
No-one was allowed to defame
The precious places of the greensward
This Titania herself proclaimed
Cruelty of Man
But man his greed knowing no bounds
In disregard of her words
Destroyed the trees and plants and ground
His ceaseless search for more he made
Killing the animals who dwelt therein
Both kith and kin
Mab came to him one dark and silent night
And bound him in chains of metal bright
Cut out his tongue
Put out his eyes
So never could he again
Destroy the magic of the woods
A warning let this be to all who would destroy what Mother Nature has created...
