I summon stir and call you here
I summon stir and call you here
Like the wind, earth, fire and water
Like the wind, earth, fire and water
I summon like the wind, and call fire here
you earth, stir water

From yon tree, I summon thee
From yon tree, I summon thee
To this cauldron's mystery
To this cauldron's mystery
From mystery this cauldron's yon tree
I summon thee

Do my bidding as I will
Do my bidding as I will
Follow the words of this spell
Follow the words of this spell
Follow my bidding do my will
The words of this spell

Follow this cauldron's mystery, bidding you
from yon tree I summon, do stir and call thee here
as to the wind, water, fire, and earth summon
like the words of this spell
DFC Poetry challenge "I put a spell on you" [link]

I chose a Paradelle [link] for this form, it seemed to feel more like a "spell-like" form to me.

Wow... This is powerful stuff. I found this a while ago, and re-reading it still sends chills down my spine.

I have never cared much for poetry, in almost any form. It's not that I don't like it, I just never really got into it. But recently, I've found a few things like this, most of it Native American.

And man, it's scary how deeply they resonate in me.

Very well done.
