One, two, three… Ravens are circling above me. Higher, lower, higher again, their feathers purple, black, indigo, silvery-grey. One, two, three… I should have known you’d come. Your hair dark as the night – or is it the rain that made it so?.. One, two, three… Out of the mist you step, your cloak billowingContinue reading “One, two, three…”

You are mine
‘You are not of your world, you are my child, mine above all others…I’ve watched you grow, my dreams raised you up, my stories nurtured you, my music lulled you into sleep at nights…it was me who had guided you through everything… And I’ve loved you more than any father could love his child. DoContinue reading “You are mine”
Somewhere/Godspouse
Somewhere, amid dark blues and silvery greys, a deity wakes up, his hair unruly and untamed, a mass of auburn and dark chocolate curls, his eyes green as emeralds in the grass of early spring. He straightens his back, his body still numb after a long sleep of many years. Slowly he walks, his movementsContinue reading “Somewhere/Godspouse”
Beyond the woods
Beyond the woods I will look for you, beyond the woods of memory, pain and regret. Beyond the woods I will search, tirelessly, endlessly, hopelessly. Beyond the woods of doubts, fears and sighs. Beyond the woods I will wander, in the dark, in the mists, in the shadows. Beyond the woods of forgotten tales, songsContinue reading “Beyond the woods”

I looked for you
In the depths I looked for you, and in the forest green. In the valleys of emerald grass, and in the flowering fields. I sang to the trees and the rivers, I crossed sands and marshes, I traversed oceans and glades. I flew over the mountains and hills, I glided on the wings of theContinue reading “I looked for you”
Call me Gwyn
I have many faces and many names. I have lived so many lives, I walked many roads. I have been a multitude of shapes, I have worn many a guise. Call me Gwyn. My eyes have seen so much, my voice has sung many songs. I have told many a tale, I have fought manyContinue reading “Call me Gwyn”
I am here
I am here. Always here. As the sun rises and sets, as the moon comes out. I am here. My love is always there. For all my children who choose the long way home, for all my children who prefer thorns of silver to silks of gold. My love is always there. My eyes areContinue reading “I am here”
Fill my weary head with visions
Fill my weary head with visions, My soul – with peace. Fill my exhausted mind with songs, My heart – with faith. Fill my broken body with strength, My sight – with clarity. Fill my shattered dreams with light, My nights – with rest. Fill my divided spirit with unity, My life – with meaning.Continue reading “Fill my weary head with visions”
Here I stand, Lord
Here I stand, Lord, humbled by your presence. Your radiance blinds me, and I cannot look into your face. Your light tears me apart, and yet it heals my wounds. Here I stand, Lord, hands tied, tongue numb. No speech is good enough,no words can describe what I feel. Here I stand, Lord, too ordinary,Continue reading “Here I stand, Lord”
