Now, I love poetry, and I LOVE prophecy! So I thought it would be nice if we added a thread were we could post both of these things. The poetry posted here could be one you made up, or one someone else did. The prophecies could be real, or they could be one from a story. My point is, real or fake and etc. I would like this thread to be used so that as a coven, we could post are favorite quotes, poems, and prophecies. Just a thought. For starters, Her is a poem from the book Watership Down that just really fascinated me. I hope you injoy.

"The wind is bowing, bowing over the grass.

It shakes the willow catkins; the leaves shine silver.
Where are you going, wind? Far, far away
Over the hills, over the edge of the world.
Take me with you, wind, high over the sky.
I will go with you, I will be rabbit-of-the-wind,
Into the sky, the feathery sky and the rabbit.

In autumn the leaves come blowing, yellow and brown.
They rustle in the ditches, they tug and hang on the hedge.
Where are you going, leaves? Far, far away
Into the earth we go, with the rain and the berries.
Take me, leaves, O take me on your dark journey.
I will go with you, I will be rabbit-of-the-leaves,
In the deep places of the earth, the earth and the rabbit.

Frith lies in the evening sky. The clouds are red about him.
I am here, Lord Frith, I am running through the long grass.
O take me with you, dropping behind the woods,
Far away, to the heart of light, the silence.
For I am ready to give you my breath, my life,
The shining circle of the sun, the sun and the rabbit."

By Richard Adams author of Watership Down
