Sacred hollows

I can see the morning
crimson and burning
over the hilltops
green in their drowning
cold winds they are blowing
seeking the red horse in the blue forest
behind the mirror seven faces
the black ship goes sailing
weight your sorrows in the left hand
sing the lightning in your right
curlew harps break on the grey shore
fallen lie the rings of stone
sacred hollows have we wandered
the wind bends the tall grass into keyholes
serpent signs carved on our dreaming
as the ragged path unfolds

There is a moon
there is a sun
there is a circle carved on stone
there is a horse riding the ocean
there is a clearing in the woods
there is a swallow flying over the ocean
there is a hand holding a knife
there is a cauldron there is a fire
there is a river without any god
there are children laughing in the wood
there are ones who dress in antlers
there are portals between the ribs
now the dust moves on the stair
now the priestess fills the cup
now the soldier sings on the mountain
now the kingfisher dives

The serpent awakes

Enter the temple
the doorway is open
no fire will burn you
or water drown
long have you travelled
valley and mountain
inside the circle
breathe and lie down
there is no past
and there is no future
let the waves carry
our bones to the bottom
towers are falling
crowns that mean nothing
lets the storm enter
no wind can harm you
horses of wisdom
ravens of sorrow
all that you need
is buried inside you
in the forest of darkness
the serpent awakes

The Dreaming Boat

Where the kestrels
hang in towers
we go drifting
in the dream boat
bells are calling
the beasts of sunrise
leave our bodies
far below us
no more searching
for the reason
no more praying
for the answer
you are the feather
that falls on my page
the clouds are lifting
our ghosts leave the harbour
we go drifting in the dream boat
