Festival of
Lights
Silence, darkness
We gather in Circle
To welcome anew
The Spring
The Light.
The ground is empty
Waiting
For the Sun's light
To warm the seeds
Hidden deep within
We gather to welcome forth
The lengthening days
To uncurl from the
Hibernation of winter
We bid the Sun to bless
Our prayers
The altar holds
The flickering lights
We raise forth
To welcome the
Season of Lights.
