Roses by Rowan Sterling 1987
Roses on a mountain top
Touched by August Mist
Your body harbored in my arms
Your lips that I have kissed.
Two bodies embraced in tender love
Moving all as one
Nectar taken from our souls
Til the sacred deed is done
What has been made grows within me now
Cast of us in stone
A new life will soon spring forth
Of spirit, flesh, and bone
Breathe Deep by Rowan Sterling 1993
Breathe deep the smell of eternity
Let the winds caress you
Feel the tears beneath you
Let negativity stay in your mind
Give goodness to your heart
Keep balance in your soul
Stand upon the seen
Sleep under the unseen
Embrace the Manna
Climb the spiral staircase
Cry for nothing
Cry for everything
Circle By Rowan Sterling (c) 1990
Circle of perpetual time
Delusion of the new aeon
Smile at my destiny
Men and women
Seed and grow and reap
The macrocosm remaining constant
The microcosm lost with each new harvest
Reproduction of the Genesis
Rebirth of the Revelation
Cloaked in all yet comprising nothing
Belonging to the order of cipher
Silent Scream By Rowan Sterling (c) 1993
Silent scream inside my mind
Silent realm that no one can find
Writhing spirit pushing to be free
Beautiful spirit that no one can see
"Where is the beauty" I hear them say
"We cannot find it so far away"
It is so deep
No time for sleep
She is the Goddess within me
Untitled by Rowan Sterling (c) 1993
Convalescent clouds engulf the blackened sky
The wonderous time is at hand
Blessed be those who walk in the moonlit path
Blessed be those pregnant and teeming with life
Blessed be those who are marked for each lifetime
Glorify in all the essence of negativity
Rejoice in the positive
Forget not which is nothing
Come, Sprite, from the silent realm
Take back what is yours
Your forgotten honor will be restored
Blessed be the beginning sprung from the end
Blessed be those who see
A Pagan Child's
