Tree Through the Year By CatLord
	I start at Sam Haine my leaves gone and My nuts fallen. Now I am ready to Rest through the dark days ahead with My sap gathered in my roots. At Yule I sense the return of teh Sun and Deep within the womb of the Earth my Sap begins to flow up from my roots Stirring me to activity. At Imbolc as the reborn Sun Has warmed the Earth And the Earth nurtured me I send forth my buds The sign of life returning. At Ostara I join in the celebration of Spring And awakening of the Earth by sending forth My leaves to help green the Earth once more. At Beltane I join in the celebration of fertility By bringing forth my flowers that I might Be pollinated and bear my nuts. At Midsummer with Nature and the Sun At their fullest I soak up theirnutrients and energy To produce my nuts. At Lughnassdh I stand in my glory, My leaves at their fullest and my nuts nearly ripe At Mabon my decline begins, my nuts have Fallen and are harvested, my leaves have turned And my sap flows now back to my root, As I prepare once more to take my rest from Sam Haine to Yule.
