In the wake of my ending my marriage and leaving house, home, country, I learned that Masses were said and house blessings performed. When I heard of this the following forced its way to the surface. I have mellowed somewhat since - at least I would hope so.

Shake Bell

Wring hands

Pour water out

As on parched Lands!

Drive this Spirit

From this Place

Lest he should show

Again his face!

Join hands we all

Assembled here

And summon Power

To drive out Fear!

Banished be

From Sight and Sound

Forevermore

The Hellish Hound!

Joy to this Place

For he is gone

And on,

    and on,

        and on,

            and on...
