Beneath the first
full bloom of the moon
upon the Sabbath
of the vernal equinox
maidens blossomed in their
youth gather round
and diligently set about
painting Ostara's eggs
in colors more vibrant than
their beauty.
Her altar they arrange
decked in the flowers
of Spring, the first colors
to paint the world
out of the winter gloom.
Upon their sweet honey lips
they sing a melody
to their Goddess of Fertility,
with the hopes that they
may become so blessed
so like the moon their
wombs may grow.
Incarnates of the Goddess
creators of new life
to be brought from darkness
into the light.
