Renewal

[Daryvas]

Every night I lift my eyes
To twinkling diamond splendor.
The lotus blooms and from its petals
Awen's fullness rendered.

Peace like waves returning
To familiar sand forgotten,
Breaks upon the heart of stone
Once broken and downtrodden

Spirit speaks and Solace seeks
To spread the wings of healing.
While silver moonlight purifies
The pool of Love's revealing.

Wonderful, I love it.

Aslaenoch,

That is my favorite poem I have seen on the Druid Grove in the short time I have been here. Did you write it or find it somewhere? It is really good.

Also, I noticed you live in Asheville NC. I too live in the Asheville area. In Arden.

Wonderful.

[Daryvas]

Thank you all very much. You are too kind.

Hawthorn,
I did pen the poem, yes. I see it as more of a gift from Awen than my own work but nonetheless, it is original. I am excited that you live as close as you do. Are there other like-minded individuals in the area of which you are aware?

Aslaenoch,

I know of a few " treeish " folks around here but no one practicing druidry, except yourself. I have done a few searches online and found nothing local. There was a druid group in Black Mountain but it appears to have dissolved.

I have been trying to promote druidry to my sister, she has many druid characteristics but so far I don't think she has took that first step.

Hi Aslaenoch,
Love the poem uplifting and has a genuine and positive theme!

Aslaenoch & Hawthorn,
I'm just starting on my own druidic path... I was surprised to find nothing in the Asheville area other than the Black Mtn Grove (as previously mentioned, now probably defunct). I'm in Weaverville.

Best,
Anthem

Anthem,

Cool! You, I and Aslaenoch will have to get together sometime.
