Requiem - Evans

Requiem

By Ann C Bryn-Evans

That which belongs to Air
has returned to the East.
The Wheel turns
and Spring is over.

That which belongs to Fire
has returned to the South.
The wheel turns
and Summer has flown.

That which belongs to Water
has returned to the West.
The wheel turns
and Autumn passes.

That which belongs to Earth
has returned to the North,
The wheel turns
the Winter has ended.

That which belongs to Spirit
has returned to the old Ones.
The wheel turns
the Cauldron awaits.

That which belongs to fellowship and love --
that which belongs to Circle --
remains with us.
Nothing is final,
no farewell is the last.

The wheel turns,
and we, who tread the dance which never ends,
will share the gifts of food and wine again.
