Ostara, 1999
Mounted on a jet black steed
You ride with the Guardian of the East
Your cloak swaying in rhythm
To Mother Earth's beat.
Today, as you cast your runes
You spread sunlight over Gaia
Your partner returning to your side
Riding in tandem between the worlds.
You took your dreams with you
To the forest of Demeter and Kali
In deep velvet, you are the Green Man
The Horned God, Pan and Balder.
You visit every now and then
To share with us your equine joy
Jumping balefires with upraised sword
You are the Emperor of the Circle.
You are again a man of power
Gone are the times of agony, loss and demise
You are strong and bold and fearless
In the Land of perpetual Summer.
Blessings to my brother, Nashoba for his vision upon which this poem is based
