Crowned with leaves of oak
The Green King
Stands in humility and love
For his bride,
The Mother of all.

Skeletal and outstreched
Digits embrace the sky
As He stands, a gaunt
Sentinel over the dormant
Body of the Mother.

The Green Man, His horns
Pierced with mistletoe
In racked vigil stands.
He lays His hair over Her
And dreams of spring.

Clad in green,
The Mother slowly wakes.
She smiles, and thanks
The Horned One for the
Laughter in the woods.
I was on a bus in October, when I looked up and saw naked branches, with just the last few leaves attached - which gave me the idea for this.
