my feet are soft upon the still beating heart
of my love
tears fall for the forgotten dreams
of the ones that came before I
the ones that stood on this fertile shore
cried life into its veins
dear beloved
lost
at sea
i am here
to hear your call
calling you
home
to the shores of your dreams
where memories dance
and play out their melodies
song of my fathers
my mothers
my sisters
my brothers
day of my soul
for i remember you each in turn
in this soft remembrance of years
honouring
i walk your footsteps forth
to the oak
to the yew
to the fields of golden barley
i lay down my heart
for your sweet embrace
