Ysbryd/Spirit ( a poem for Dydd Santes Dwynwen / St Dwynwens day; The Welsh Patron Saint Of Lovers)

(for Jane and all lovers)

St Dwynwens spirit lives again today
dances on the earth, echoes amongst heartbeats,
she opens up our eyes, to unite and embrace
with residues  of light, releases feelings of joy,
traces the smiles of laughter and deep expression
the breath of kindness, the bliss of kiss,
moving us together, on paths of harmony
as we walk on strong, together hand in hand.

Though her tale was cruel, marked by pain
She wraps her arms around us gently,
to comfort and protect, the flow of shining time
shimmering with protective potency,
under star-studded sky, allows  goodness to prevail

she heals again, answers our whispering cry,
fortifies and keeps us warm, in the name of love
her flame planting chords of harmony and peace.

A beacon of hope, enables hearts to conquer 

unweighted. unburdened,  unconstrained,
allows poetry to flourish, to be shared
moments to cherish, the taste of  ebullience,

Welsh lovers look to  her for help in courting their true love
or for forgetting a false one, that became an obstacle, 
a sparkle that flutters amongst the crazy folds of life
infuses the world again, with scents of passion.
