The darkness swings its mighty pendulum
spins the clocks into unfettered sleep
stillness of the moon is awakened
owl flies swiftly
silently unto wisdom
she moves
her cloak, the black silk of night
grants shelter
protects trespass
her song caresses the veil
washes away daylight
elemental voice of the deep blue knowing
her senses dance
ebb and flow
in the sway of the moon
sweet arrow
rested at her side
the sacred blood of the forest
Her soft clad walks upon times mantle
bracken cracked and heather grew
the heart of flight
the trip and fall of light
rest still upon the heart of man
She sees what the heart of man does not
she hears the distant cry of the pine
the fallen slumber of the night
is pierced by their cries
Awaken
child of the sky
and of the moon
Awaken
child of the peat
and the bog
Awaken
child of the ocean
and the tide
Awaken
child of the flame
and the hearth
Rise up and remember your name
Rise up indeed!
