Hear my Call

Floating through the silence
I call out to thee
Arms reaching widely
To hold you to me
I see you floating freely
Upon my sea of stars
Facing the blackness
That’s hiding our hearts.

I breathe and it moves me
I feel it flow through you
Even in this stillness
Between me and you
I call but you don’t hear me
You’re deaf, blind, and dumb
Ignite the flame within you
For I am that one.

Your flame smolders softly
And sparks you into life
You begin to move towards me
Awakened, alight
Body slowly forming
From the dust of my stars
Yet that ache continues
Your gaze lost and sparse.

My fingers reach out to you
I hold your hand in mine
Two becoming one again
Golden harp divine
Our hearts sing to each other
We are all and we are one
Blazing together
Brighter than the sun.

Echoes from a song of Iron

Alien
This feeling
Of otherness
Separateness
Being torn
From some
Memory
Of union
Oneness
That was once
But is no more
It burns
To touch this
Stuff
That houses my
True Self
Such ugly layers
Thingness
Heavy
Dull
Each movement
Awkward
Uncomfortable
Unclean
This messiness
Is not me
It is my prison
Nothing more
The flow
So beautiful
Enticing
Haunting
Laughing at my
Misery
Thickness clogging
Solid
Hard
Nothing flows
Anymore
Except in the
Heart of my mind’s
Eye
In that space
I remember
Re Member
Myself
Back to the
Nothingness
The void that is
All
Centre
Everything
In that space
Between breath
And death
I am somehow
Whole
Myself
In all my splendour
Only here am I
Truly me
Everything else is
The half-remembered
Dream
Of One who once
Was starlight
And infinite

Elemental Circle Casting Song

Song written for the Southern Hemisphere; if using in the Northern Hemisphere swap the words North and South

Air from the East
On the morning breeze
Sun’s first rays
Fill my heart with ease

Air is sacred
We honour thee Air

Fire from the North
In the heat of the day
Sun kiss my skin
Chase my fears away

Fire is sacred
We honour thee Fire

Water from the West
As the Sun sinks low
Everything grows dim
My tears they overflow

Water is sacred
We honour thee Water

Earth from the South
Stones hold my form
Memories and dreams
Help to keep me warm

Earth is sacred
We honour thee Earth

Spirit from above and
Spirit from below
Within and without
Forever spark and glow

Spirit is sacred
We honour thee spirit

Our circle is cast
And we are between the worlds
What occurs between the worlds
Changes all the worlds

[to uncast]

Spirit from above and
Spirit from below
Within and without
Forever spark and glow

Spirit is sacred
We honour thee spirit

Earth from the South
Stones hold my form
Memories and dreams
Help to keep me warm

Earth is sacred
We honour thee Earth

Water from the West
As the Sun sinks low
Everything grows dim
My tears they overflow

Water is sacred
We honour thee Water

Fire from the North
In the heat of the day
Sun kiss my skin
Chase my fears away

Fire is sacred
We honour thee Fire

Air from the East
On the morning breeze
Sun’s first rays
Fill my heart with ease

Air is sacred
We honour thee Air

Our circle is open
But it is unbroken
Merry meet and merry part
And merry meet again

Listen to the song
