CANDLEMAS COMES

A stirring promise sets upon the lingering cold wind.

  Earth a young maiden has arrived at her time.
    She comes dressed in white,
                ready and bearing chandler’s torches.

  The verdant vigor is rattled from its roost by her morning light
          which directs the way for our anticipation.

    Our hearts begin to sing again, longing and looking to a certainty that life will return,
                         growing within the belly of the land
                                         and suckling at the breasts of Spring.
