The Hour and the Feast

It is the season 

of temptations

and I’m ready for 

the diverting of rivers of ideas

into their new courses

some of you find distractions

troubling but I say

bring the hour and the feast

come into my house

and my kingdom 

there are treasures here 

you haven’t seen yet 

and some of them are useful. 

If you are going to walk out

into this cruel world

then you have to trust yourself

there are going to be 

many poor choices you can make

but friendship isn’t one of them

I have been keeping my eye

on the old fires that are 

still burning and 

I regret nothing. 

This is my other gift

finding the right people 

and gathering them 

bringing every adept 

and sorcerer to the table

collaboration will make us strong 

and join our power 

and I want your divided attention

to pile on the fire.

In the forge 

it is growing hot 

I am unwinding threads of the future 

as fast as I can dream 

we are at the beginning 

of a new invocation

that I have just started 

to imagine the shape of 

and it is going to elevate the work

which is the best reward 

that I can think of

for letting my mind wander.
