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
