ruby flames dance
protected by the stones
cloaks and antlers encircle
covered by the darkness
white rites and chants float high
hoods and crowns adorned
the rejoicers bring the song
by the light of the fire
blackenblue skies gives to an orange dawn
embers of the dancers fire fade
magic passes and wanes
brightened by the coming day
