Standing stones/Cerne’s lullaby

Let me cradle youBy the standing stonesLet me sing to youWhile the ambers glow. Let me lull your heartBy the standing stonesLet the dream take flightOn the wings of song. Let me call you mineBy the standing stonesAs the daylight diesYou shall be reborn. Let me bring you downBy the standing stonesLet me take youContinue reading “Standing stones/Cerne’s lullaby”

Crom Cruach/ Rath Croghan song

Read my name in the wind, rising from the mounds.See me in the cards, signs and omens.Descend to me, following the spiral-Go deeper. Feel my presence in the air, breathe it in.Sense me in your dreams, all pine and soil,Rosemary and musk,Dissolve in me. Open the iron gates of Rath Croghan,Step inside, look me inContinue reading “Crom Cruach/ Rath Croghan song”

Descent

When you descend, you’re down below.Your paths keep winding and spirallingYour way lies through the mist, moss and bonesTo the Center of the Labyrinth. When you descend, you’re going strongTill the ground break open and crackLike a ripe fruit, full of blood red,A pomegranate of thousand seeds. When you descend, the turf turns to mossContinue reading “Descent”

The Voice

Among the dead I walk.I know no paths among the living.To the dead I give voice.The living have my silence.Among the dead I dwell.I know no sanctuary among the living.To the dead I listen.No living soul has my ear. Deep, deep into the ground I descend.There, no light can trouble me.To the deepest places IContinue reading “The Voice”

Gradually

Joy would become sadness,As the fall approached.The world would slow down. Gradually. Demeter’s young daughterWould sulk longer,Changing. Gradually. She would no longer smile,Her face becoming paler,And her hair duller. Gradually. She would shudderAt the sound of her nameAnd refuse to wear white. Gradually. She would take to the woodsLooking for something,Wandering farther and farther. Gradually.Continue reading “Gradually”
