"Gathering"

It has only been a short time, friends

since last we gathered around.

Yet I have missed every one of you,

and in my thoughts you are often found.

But now we are gathered together again

to revel, feast and play.

Once again we celebrate

what has brought us to this day.

Tell us friend, the tales of dragons

and of their wisdom past.

Tell us, dear Fae, of your King and Queen,

and of your glamours cast.

Let our songs be sung, dear friends-

let all our tales be heard tonight.

Come one and all to share your words

in the fire's warming light.
