"Avalon Magic, Glastonbury Tor" by By Angie Livingstone, The Glittering Fox

Introduction

This is my ninety-first piece inspired by Angie Livingstone's magnificent artwork.

This is An Ekphrastic Chant-Royal. The form was introduced to me by Marilyn Glover in her wonderful work here, which surely deserves a Top Story:

This is probably my third-longest poem. My longest is here:

My second longest is here:

Our book, "The Art Of The Glittering Fox", is now available on Amazon throughout the world.

The music is "Mists of Avalon" by Adrian von Ziegler

Avalon Magic At Glastonbury Tor

πŸŒΏπŸ‚πŸ‡πŸƒπŸ›οΈπŸƒπŸ‡πŸ‚πŸŒΏ

Here We All Are In Avalon

The Druid And The Sorceress

In This Sacred Place They Belong

Confidants Of The Moon Goddess

Above Stands Saint Michael's Tower

Imposing In The Midnight Hour

Here Again, As They Were Before

Reciting Spells To Practice Lore

They Will Not Suffer Any Fools

Beneath The Tower On The Tor

This Is The Place Where Magic Rules

πŸ‡πŸƒπŸ›οΈπŸƒπŸ‡

'Neath The Tree Sit Hare Number One

All Nature's Creatures Here Are Blessed

Down The Hill, We See A Hare Run

Avalon Is Here, Nonetheless

Sat In The Shelter Of This Bower

Grass Is Dry, After The Shower

Along The Leyline Magic Flows

Towards A Portal, Fairy Door

Mysticism Provides Their Tools

And In The Sky A Third Hare Soars

This Is The Place Where Magic Rules

πŸ‡πŸƒπŸ›οΈπŸƒπŸ‡

From The Heavens Divine Ones Come

Spreading Their Light, And Acquiesce

To Show Us All How To Be One

Their Place Of Protection To Bless

Here Is Where Love Always Flowers

Lo, The Magi Show Their Power

'Tis Said Angels Were Here Before

Who Knows, They May Come Once More

This Pagan Place, Where Gaia Rules,

Calm Abides, Peace Provides The Score

This Is The Place Where Magic Rules

πŸ‡πŸƒπŸ›οΈπŸƒπŸ‡

The Spiral From The Tree Belongs

To The Line That Flows Without Rest

With Light And Magic All Along

To The Summit, To The High Crest

And Then Feel The Mystic's Power

'Neath the Glory Of The Tower

Sorceress Chants Her Spell Once More

To Open A Heavenly Door

Reveal This Land's Hidden Jewels

This Treasure Will Be Evermore

This Is The Place Where Magic Rules

πŸ‡πŸƒπŸ›οΈπŸƒπŸ‡

In The Stars The White Hare Does Run

To Worship Luna, The Goddess

She Who Shines Bright, She Is The Moon

A Shining, Silver, Starlight Dress

Lighting Up Saint Michael's Tower

White Hare Magic, Moonlight Flower

A Place Of Magic To Explore

A Place Where Your Soul Can Restore

To Feel The Magic, Find Your Muse

Always, Always Forevermore

This Is The Place Where Magic Rules

πŸ‡πŸƒπŸ›οΈπŸƒπŸ‡

Here, Under Glastonbury Tor

Avalon Beauty At Its Core

A Mystic Land Full Of Jewels

When You've Seen It All, There Is More

This Is The Place Where Magic Rules

    Way to go with this one Mr. Mike. Now I want to go. The words with the picture flow together and I really like the image with all the shades of green for that and your words were calming to me as I read them.

    Beautiful. The last stanza was magic, the culmination of so much power built over the previous stanzas. And you have brought to my attention yet another fantastic new poetic form. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

    I want to attempt a Chant Royale - it sounds wonderful. Great work here. I mentioned you in my last tap on Vocal's shoulder.

    I had a backgammon series with a friend that lasted 4 years. We played every Saturday throughout high school, and maintained the same scorecard. After close to a thousand games played, I gained a ton of experience, but ultimately lost :(
