Arise!

She snuck into some upper boughs
just around the witching hour,
as if in evergreens to browse
by ancient arcane Imbolc power.
Sometimes the moon by stealth will climb
into the first skies of the year...
in a manner, extra sublime,
due to the heavens being clear;
as if by Brigid, parting, blessed...
and brutal Janus looking twice,
conferred to grant Aurora's request
to lose the fog and cirrus ice
so sleepless bards and crescent moons
may plot gold beams...with mantic runes!
