Taxus totem carvings

yew’s dark wood evergreen

a gateway to a world unseen

the underworld beneath his shade

where spirits pass

where darkness fades

into the light of dawns first breath

chants in whispers low

invokes the fires of earth below

for in the yew, flame and night

are held in balance

dark and bright

spirals traced by acient hands

marks pathways through

magic realms

and

sunlit lands

Knotwork weaves

trough bark and bone

in tangeld roots the truth is shown

the spirits of earth reside

in every leaf and stream they hide

The beating pulse of natures heart
