  • Worm Moon

    Worm Moon

    The thaw begins not in the soil, but in the quiet ache of limbs stretching, in breath that steams against morning frost, in blood that stirs like sap beneath the bark. We are bramble tip and violet leaf, unfolding despite the cold, drinking light through closed eyes, and remembering the green within. Let us walk…

  • Solstice: The Light We Keep

    Under Pendle’s crown of cloud and crest, Where shadows stretch and spirits rest, We dared to dream, to mend, to sow, A living bond where wild things grow. Through bramble’s clutch and meadow’s sprawl, We answered the ancient forest’s call.  With hawthorn’s fruit and nettle’s fire, We stirred the earth to meet desire. A cabin…

  • In the heart of Lomeshaye’s embrace

    In the heart of Lomeshaye’s embrace, Where nature’s song finds its space, A cabin stands, a haven bright, For Thursday’s eve, a guiding light. Gathered souls, a cherished throng, Underneath the stars, we belong. In the marsh’s gentle embrace, We find solace, we find grace. With open arms, we bid all in, Where every spirit…
