'Neath The Light of The Moon
by

Four women are we 'neath the light of the moon
Well, me, not quite yet - but someday real soon
I am the Maiden, I sit in the East
Honored to be at my first Women's Feast

Mom's here with baby. She sits in the South
Heeding each word out of dear Auntie's mouth
As she tells us the stories that help us recall
From her place in the West, where she sits, proud and tall!

While there to the North sits the elderly Crone
Her hearing is failing, her sight nearly gone
Yet with eyes that are cloudy she sees more than most
She speaks now to Spirit and calls in the ghosts

Of the Grandmothers past, of the Women Before
Who speak in our hearts now and guide us once more
And we sing all together the Woman's one tune
As four women we sit, 'neath the light of the moon.
