But I'm Not Bitter -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a dark and dreary day ( I know its Tripe but today it is true ) rain makes me sour and truly an old crone My skin is too tight and my bones are not nimble but stiff and useless Stairs are insurmountable and the phone seems too far away for the effort I no longer try to be pleasant and am left alone but for my furry mob who can care less my bad mood my desk chair is surrounded now with hot water bottles electrical pads and nuke em packs and of course pill bottles the detritus of pain It is now a companion old and well known to me I am told ever "Its age my Dear, Just live with it I am told "It's all in your mind there's no pain at all" I am told :Push through it and endure don't acknowledge it ignore it" When will it leave ? at death ? What a thought to have to drag it with me at the end. I curse his name His Family His Heritage His Intellect His Temper His one action one blow in fury his one tantrum ... And the sentence is life ...for me I wonder ..If I saw him could I strike back? I know there is no forgiveness no saint like pity or absolution Every time I hit the ground in a seizure he has hit me again Everyday I cannot climb the stairs in my own home He has thrown me once again through the window and I fall the 6 floors again Stop holding on to it you'll never get any better ... And I try ..I really do ... Then the seizures come or I cannot do a simple household task or I must once more tell a friend I cannot meet them for tea (a selfish luxury) You know I bet he has not thought of me in years ..but his actions govern what I can do every day of my Life But I am not Bitter Solita -2006 Author's Location: Toronto, Ontario

Harken My Daughters by Solitaire Archer
The Question It happened again..a throw away question really these days ... What Path is yours? At once the rote rose in my throat .... Witch Wiccan Solitary Electic and I stopped .. dead Its true I am all these things and more to be sure: I chose ... Wicca because I am tied to the beliefs the ebb and flow rebirth and renewal Witch because the practice makes my heart fly and soul dance every scent , stone and candle Solitary because even though I have found so many Sisters and Brothers on my way I have no stomach or strength for politics. Electic..ah well here my problem lay I love the freedom choice does bring ButI am also a teacher... I love the A B C's and 1 2 3's I love to do an intricate ritual from begining to end and feel the soft touch of the past as each step taken I understand that this dance has been stepped before decades past It brings me great joy and comfort to know the dance I dance and the Names I use have been on the sweet breath of those who have gone before me. So Tradition has a part on my Path after all ....:) So who am I I am Air and Earth Fire and Water I am Past and Future I am Mother and Babe I am New and I am Aged beyond all Time Come Join me in the Dance of the Circle Teach me your Ways and I will share mine Together we will Honour our sweet Lady with our gifts and talents and we will know Joy in the Journey I am Solita Shadoewalker These are my Words and this is my Way @Copywrite-2006

The Question
This Morning I woke this morning to a beautiful dawn, the dew wet grass shining in the already bright sun The Lady has blessed me once more My tumblers run and dart, spin and frolic my private acrobats Soft sweet calls and ankle swarms and my large cattle dog gently but with insistence herding me into the kitchen and my duties, My Eastern altar is glowing with the suns rising and wrapped 'round with the grasses and flowers of summer Incense rises and the candle flickers as I ask for Her protection for these... my wandering one's today The kettle's boiled and the day's tea is made and blessed and seven dishes filled and emptied. The sun fully risen now and the house stirs family sounds as heavy steps wander above and radio plays softly Round me now still piles of soft satin slick fur breathing soft and deep noses all counted and accounted for bellies rubbed and ears all tickled 7 foreheads softly touched and charmed and all are safe and sound this day in our Lady's care. I wander the garden now caressing those blooms that require some extra essence, All that's needed is water and sun and love through each touch comes life and will and care and thus the wheel turns and the garden thrives Lilac, Lily and Rose and Ivy abounds and the garden thrives I walk now from the front to the back door carefully sweeping my chants softly sung and the smudge bundle of sage and roses lit and smoking salt scattered and swept and once more my small realm is safe My Lady guard this house and all who dwell and those who would stay I trust my most valued Companions are in your keeping My Family My life are in your keeping. I celebrate my life withing your Circle and my Joy within your keeping All of this and things unspoken Joy and Light and Love My Lady, Bless me. Solita -2007

The Fire Witch, Poet and Fool
Mi amada Daisy Ya no tengo quien me avise cuando hay alguien en la puerta Quien se acurruque en mi panza cuando estoy triste Quien me vea preocupada cuando estoy enferma Quien duerma junto a mí en la cama, tapada de pies a cabeza Era el paraíso despertar con un bultito tan bello y calientito Mi chiquitita, my tiny Tan fría que querías parecer, pero cuánto me querías Todo el día pegada a mí, todo el día en mis piernas Corrías a sentarte en el tapete para acompañarme hasta en el baño Sabías perfectamente cuando me iba a ir de viaje Te subías a mi maleta, y escuchaba tus lloridos desde la puerta Mi vaquita, mi chilpetina Ya no tengo quien me despierte en la mañana para ir al baño Jamás te hiciste en la cama, ladrabas para que te bajara y te abriera Ladrabas y corrías a tu platito de agua cuando querías agua O frente a tu platito de comida exigiendo que era hora de comer Solita lo aprendiste, "Such a smart puppy!" Mi tinky winky, my ****** twinkle Ya no tengo a quien soplarle en la carita Y que como respuesta me llene de besos No tengo con quien batallar para que coma Ni a quien ponerle tus vestiditos todos chiquitos A quien observar, morir de amor, e inevitablemente llenar de besos Mi bébe, my puppy Eras tan fuerte que jamás te quejaste de nada Ni siquiera cuando tus pequeños riñones empezaron a fallar Siempre estuviste alegre, moviendo tu colita Excepto en tus últimos días, apagada Sabías que ya habías cumplido tu misión, que ya era hora Mi preciosura GRACIAS por quererme, por hacerme feliz con sólo verte GRACIAS por cuidarme, por absorber mis males y tristezas GRACIAS por esperar a que llegara para irte GRACIAS por ser fuerte cuando tu cuerpo más débil estaba, para poder decirnos adiós estando juntas, en casa GRACIAS por escogerme como mamá Mi florecita bella Fuiste la mejor y más hermosa perrita del Universo Tenerte fue lo mejor que me pudo haber pasado ¡Qué bonito habernos encontrado en esta vida! No sabes lo inmensamente feliz que me hiciste Te amo tanto y lo sabes, porque te lo decía cada 3 segundos Mi pequeña angelita hermosa Nos quedamos dormidas abrazadas, y viste el momento Amaneciste aún abrazada a mi brazo, pegada a mi pecho Con una carita feliz, llena de paz... pero ya en el arcoiris Ya no tengo quien haga todas esas cosas aquí Pero en todas partes te veo, y escucho tus ladriditos tan bellos Te guardo en mi corazón mientras me esperas en el arcoiris Jugando, corriendo, observándome y cuidándome Espérame ahí, hasta que sea hora de que vaya a recogerte I love you forever, my tiny

The first time I saw her ,She was dancing in the fire flickering with the pipes, naked feet stepping on the drum beats Glorious and free wild and unconfined The next time we met the frost coated the trees She was mist wrapped and the snow sparkled in her fiery hair and softly She crooned the Quarters gentle She called us to worship Then Spring Life bursting yellow and white ribbons twisted through glossy tresses Harp and drum flute and horn Myrrh and Rose and Jade She comes we follow and now Fall the time of sleep of sleeping death the fire is high the Sisters here and we wait Flute cries and lyre weeps yet the drum pulls calls stronger and more insistence She comes robed in orange and brown mustard and wine Slowly pacing the course of Sol then Luna's track returns Tall and Regal, Cool and Controlled She walked to the fire and smiled, holding out Her hands She calls us to Dance Singing ballads, new and old cooing, humming or merely swaying The first time I saw Her she was Dancing in the Fire Solita Arcanes

IN THIS SPACE AND AT THIS HOUR by Doyenne Solace Arcanna ShadoeWalker
The candle is lit and the house slumbers as I turn the pages of this most personal tome it is not magik but memory that urges the turning. From the Oh so careful initial lines of a Very young woman beginning her search with every I dotted and T crossed every day logged and noted .To the busier days of finding teachers and noting the questions that HAD to have answers. With accolade's that came when at last I was asked to lead and the tears and uncertainty when the time had come to leave. The wonder and renewal that comes with teaching and the pride as my students stand on their own and go forward. Too the life moments when my attention was scattered a parents passing the ending of a marriage Every drop of candle wax and oil stained sheet recalls vivid memories and tears and laughter. My Book is not as pretty as I once thought it would be , But I met My Lady in its pages and for that I will every be grateful. Solita Shadoewalker

There is a thief who lives with me A thief that steals constantly He steals my sleep my time and my peace He saps my strength and shortens my reach There is a thief who lives with me He steals my hope and shortens my days He runs his hands along my spine clenching and twisting and he smiles His reach extends from my spine to my eyes locking me in his vice He wraps my mind in his dull red haze and he makes me stupid and vile There is a thief who lives with me We battle every day every hour waking sleeping There is no time when he is not a constant companion He keeps me spinning in bed searching for a place of rest Every hour it is He that controls my work and my play There is a thief who lives with me I try to seal my world from him I stuff the cracks and bar the doors Dark the windows and stopper the gates He finds me no matter There is a thief who lives with me But he knows me well, this thief of mine and soon he's found the cracks The chinks in my Armour he knows so well and soon his art he racks There is a thief who lives with me a companion old and wearisome There!! You see he comes stealing minutes and hours My thief of days My Pain Solita _2007

FIRST ONES She sits by the fire and stirs her *** the day has been a long one and tonight's new moon means no sleep tonight for there are times right for harvest and can be done no other time The folks of the village depend on her art for to bring new life and easing the pain of the living as well as honouring the dead There is no Rede or three by three here no shiny wands or talismans she is elder here and thus respected perhaps feared but she lives her life alone She was the beginning a first footer here seeking only to serve little profit is found outside of the town What would she thinks of our books and our Rede She who never learned to read Was She more or less then I? Did She seek to lead? Would she smile at our toys our trinkets and beads or shake her head and turn to leave I wonder what the First Ones would see looking now at me and thee Solita - 2007

The First One's
Looking out my window I see signs of spring the small green blades that signal winters end I should be rejoicing but I sit here in sullen silence The birdsong is clear and joyous in the the yet cold air and the last of the ash coloured snow melts its way down through the grate but once more I sit here wrapped in self pity My small companions tumble and spin at my feet they are great stalkers and most wondrous tumblers But here I sit cataloging my fears, my pains and trespasses Suddenly there is a soft light that enfolds I close my eyes for I know my Lady has come Her soft voice asks "why do you forge such a burden child?" "I forge Lady? looking up to Her " I don't understand. These hurts have been done to me they are not my transgressions not a burden to forge to carry, " She smiled and gathered all my hurts into her lap and slowly one by one she drops them " "These are indeed hurts against you and you keep them well polished with constant care and attention, why hold them close they have done their work why hold them any longer?" and She dropped them one by one and as She dropped them they shimmered and vanished.

I Choose
Looking out my window I see signs of spring the small green blades that signal winters end I should be rejoicing but I sit here in sullen silence The birdsong is clear and joyous in the the yet cold air and the last of the ash coloured snow melts its way down through the grate but once more I sit here wrapped in self pity My small companions tumble and spin at my feet they are great stalkers and most wondrous tumblers But here I sit cataloging my fears, my pains and trespasses Suddenly there is a soft light that enfolds I close my eyes for I know my Lady has come Her soft voice asks "why do you forge such a burden child?" "I forge Lady? looking up to Her " I don't understand. These hurts have been done to me they are not my transgressions not a burden to forge to carry, " She smiled and gathered all my hurts into her lap and slowly one by one she drops them " "These are indeed hurts against you and you keep them well polished with constant care and attention, why hold them close they have done their work why hold them any longer?" and She dropped them one by one and as She dropped them they shimmered and vanished. "These things only have power from you, if you do not allow them they cannot hurt you". "Do not give your life to those things that are in their essence harmful. Little Sister this is a burden YOU make by your choice " I bid you begin another chain one of joy and contentment of generosity of time and of sharing. you will find your burden much lighter and will find there will be many more that would share your burden . And just as suddenly as She came the light faded though I was warm still My choice .. of course it was I had known it all along So I rise from my small chair at my window and choose...I choose to be apart of my life I choose to share what knowledge I can with those that would seek I will acknowledge my gifts and I will not cherish those troubles that this turn of the wheel are mine.

The Power Enfolds Its dark now and the silver light of Luna coats everything with a gilt edge the air is cool , not yet summer warm and it softly bites my skin, Still shy after all this time aware of the marks of time not vanity really ... but the awareness of being a Crone now Slowly/quickly the shush as silken robes fall to the ground with shy smiles and giggles of proud young Sisters skyclad for the first time Softly The Lady's Maiden calls us to the Circle Brushed/Caste and Invited all the same as decades gone past Hands clasped laughter replaced with solemn purpose The drum beats to keep time the heartbeat, , , the Mothers heart Candles shimmer drums throbs a warm breath .... She is here now ...with us The Lady's Maiden smiles and our steps now fly Smiles and hands now entwined ... The Power Enfolds Voices now calling chants old and ancient beyond time Luna's silver light enfolds, encloses and energizes Now we dance on the drumbeats Blue smoke sends our chants spinning high Firelight flickers blue and orange higher now snapping crackling Sheer white light the sheen covers the dancers as though we were all gilded in The Lady's light Tresses swinging braided , twisted , oiled and unbound crowns Halos of colour and curls ... clouds of shimmering tresses Our only cloaks floating now swinging in time And the drum slows and the fire dies and at once all the dancers feel the cool night air Soft voiced the Lady's Maiden gives our thanks and dismisses the corners and the Circle is severed and time again begins Quietly robes are once more worn and voices rise "Do you need a ride?" And everyday life has resumes though the air is redolent with power Sisters glowing with power called down, soft and gentle smiles show that The Lady's soft touch...has blessed us all The Maiden greets and blesses each Sister a few quiet words and the soft touching of hands fingers softly entwin and eyes dark with Power and Secrets This has been a Ritual a Calling a Rejoicing Reaffirmation And we are once more connected Sisters, Elders, Teacher, Mentors Woman all ..

When did my world become so small? Mine.. Who used to dance all night and chant to the dawn When did it become day to day and dose to dose? And why haven't I fought kicking and screaming at the unfairness When did the day lose its colour and music all sound so distant? It was not a sudden blitz attack but a cunning silent shadow and before I knew it the Pain was master here Where once there was Me with pain Now there is Pain with me Pain now rules all I do In sleep I cry and twitch and mewl So attractive my dear I don't remember that he asked to stay He has just waltzed in and stolen what was mine My days have lost their Beauty and I so dread the night No comfort there no respite no calm He controls my temper and the Joy in life My family long have given up How long can anyone really listen after all? So now He is visitor no longer He rides my shoulders and his spurs rend my back He shows no mercy and now there is no place of rest I am sure I would have fought Him off if He had only not been a coward , to sneak up on me like that Solita-2007

When did my world get so small?
mio caro amore ** deciso che i tempi dello scrivere sotto sedativi sono tornati quindi poggia la testa al sedile, chiudi gli occhi e goditi la corsa. I: ** messo la testa fuori dalla finestra nella speranza di riempire i miei polmoni di aria gelida ma tutto ciò che ** visto è la solita strada con il solito alienante senso di vuoto che solo un paesino del Sud può regalare. quando ** detto che i vicini di casa mi spaventano non stavo dicendo una bugia: aspetto ancora che qualcuno ammazzi qualcuno sulla mia strada, probabilmente perché un paio di anni fa quello sarebbe dovuto essere il mio destino. II: chissà se le persone hanno capito che le mie domande non hanno un doppio fine ma semplicemente ** una vera e propria dipendenza da informazioni, devo avere tutto perfettamente chiaro e perfettamente illuminato, altrimenti perdo il controllo e divento ossessiva finché il tutto non si chiarisce. III; penso alle ninfee, alle ranocchie, agli stagni putridi in cui riposano ossa. ogni Monet occulta un cadavere. IV; le tue mani sono molto belle e non mi importa se ti mangi le pellicine e non mi importa se le rovini col cemento finché le usi anche per costruìre imperi sulla mia schiena, palazzi con i miei capelli intrecciati. V: sono le 02:02 e il mondo non è bello ma almeno è silenzioso.

If I Need You. "Call me if you need me *** It was the sign off of an old friend When I need you? When I can't sleep and the house screams it's silence? When I need you? When my food tastes like ashes and is not worthwhile making? When I need you? When a snapshot snatches my breathe away and I can no longer breathe? When I need you? When I cannot stop crying long enough to get out of the shower? When I need you? When the days run one into the other with no meaning? When I need you? When the day is dark no matter the time and the world stops turning? But I am the strong one , confidante and funny .I am the fixer and mother .. teacher When I need you? Every day Every Hour Every moment....When I need you? I am past asking now, I can wear the mask easily now, No one realizes ... Don't worries I'll call I answered as I hung up the phone and watched my hand tremble When I need you? Oh Lady I need you my friend and I am sorry I cannot let you know When I need you Solita Arcanes

If I Need You ...
Y yo se Que no me vas a comprehender Pero como te digo que te amo Los días pasan y— “Oh hey! Yeah ofc this seats open” Tus ojos tan perfectos “I didn’t expect to see you…since you’re always busy” ¿Pensaste en mi? “You’re such a caring friend, you really didn’t have too” I like you…where I wanna tell you Pero Nunca vas a saber Tantas horas pensando que existe la posibilidad de que me ames But you’re just a friend “Let me get snack, you want anything?” “You don’t have to “ Pero haré cualquier cosa para ti “Mari.” “Hm?” “What did you say” “Oh nothing, just ok” “But you said you’ll do anything for me…so tell me.” Frozen in time, for once I’m at lost for words, ironic “Since when…?” “Since you started hanging out with that hockey girl again.” Sonrisa tan Bonita SÍ, te voy a decir que te amo y tal vez no me quedó tan solita

I never loved you... anyway
Ever so slowly the light changes and the day begins A quiet nudge at my knee and a soft call from the bottom of the staircase sleep clumsy I slip slop down to the morning cold kitchen and waiting souls Snap, radio on and kettle filled, impatient calls and ankle swarming Hurry Hurry time for me!! Morning incense lit in the eastern window and the can opener whirling cans round in a demons dance one two three four all the way to seven seven twitching tails, pacing pacing swift furred paws dancing a morning dance. well behaved waiting turns sudden silence concentration on the morning meal then all is done ... with flashing eyes and laser quick dashes it is time for rolling games and sudden pounces shadow fights and sudden leaps. Time for belly rubs and scratching ears ..and suddenly its quiet.. Small still piles of velvet fur so soft and still The morning begins in love and light ... as blessed I am to share this turn with seven gentle souls They have taught me to be calm to wait there is no need to rush all things in their time love unconditional and ever forgiving Small lives small bodies soft head butts and total trust ever the same and ever new Eyes older then time and then kitten quick...they pounce on bed mice as the once more they bring a smile to a stoic face.

A Morning Dance
quiero traerte a mi país, y enseñarte lo que me hace feliz. quiero llevarte a los bares bonitos donde cantan y arman jaleo. quiero pasar por debajo de las pérgolas preciosas del parque con mis manos colgando de donde dobla tu brazo. quiero llevarte a la iglesia   y bailar y alabar contigo. pero lamento que no será posible. es solamente un sueño que veo yo solita. porque tú estás pensando en tu propio paraíso y no creo que me incluya. si no, me lo dirías. duele querer algo con alguien que no desea lo mismo. duele   ver alguien tan cerca de ti que piensa que estás   demasiado lejos de él. no sé cómo la gente lo hacen   cuando se enamoran   en otro país. la mente se queja,   el corazón lamenta,   y el alma llora del dolor.

When did my world get so small
Shall I show how to catch tomorrow's shadow? Or wait perhaps a candle spell Come let me ask you ..What do you would know? Shall we light sweet incense and send our voices high? Do you want a dream read or a potion made perhaps a brand new page for your book or know the properties of jade? Tell me Sister What is your need? What do you seek? How may I please? You came to see me? To sit a spell and chat? to spend the afternoon with me and my calico cat? Forgive me my Sister I had forgotten your heart Sit here by the fire and again we will start I have forgotten the way to cherish my friends I thank you My Sister I will begin again Solita @2007
