Incantation to Lady January, poem by Neal Whitman, USA

Incantation to Lady January

for Lidia Chiarelli

 

  

Lady of Love,

blow the wind softly

and bestow your kiss

to warm us this winter

 

 

Luminous Lady,

open the veil slowly

and gift us your vision

to see the spring to come

 

 

Luscious Lady,

scatter the snow

and drop the berries

to ripen this summer

 

 

Lively Lady,

melt the snow

and saturate seeds

to sleep deeply in autumn
