Nightland

"Wild cranes you sad birds
Wild geese you wretched birds
You fly far and you fly high
Fly by my homes
Let my father know and let my mother know
Let my five brothers know
That my hands are cold 
My fingertips are freezing
If I should fade and die
Wandering these paths
Make me a coffin of stone
Take me to the church
Take me to the chapel
Where they go on singing..."


Igle Linnud Agle Linnud

I lost the night along the way
But never lost the hunger
In the cold glow of the tides of day
Longing opens up

It is not the young days
Not the brave days
Not the bright days
That I reach for

It is the lost light of true days
The lost blessing of true nights

And I would name all of your days
If I only knew
Who you are

Longing
Raises its head
And travels its own ways
Hunger
Opens the scar

(Ennistymon-Dublin-Tallinn, April 2014)


I lost the night

Can only hope my Estonian accent passes as fairy accent...

The Stolen Child by WB Yeats

Our Lady of Fir Trees
And Shades
Watch over us
Through the cold rain
Our Lady of Fir Trees
Under my skin
You glow so warm

I was a child
Four years old
Now I am more

Our Lady of Deep Seas
Know us when we fall
Through the green light
Our Lady of Deep Seas
Through the woodlands
Moss and heavy branches
I hear you call

The blood has now grown to its own
