Long Cold Moon

Tender Are The Gifts

Cloaked In Silence

Lady Of Luck

The land it calls out to me

The land it calls out to me and weeps for what used to be;
And our ancestors mourn, for a land that is torn;
And our children who’ll never be free, in a future we’re too blind to see.

We poison the crops in our fields, in hopes that more money they’ll yield;
While the bees that they need, they are killed by our greed;
And the cost of our greed is revealed as the fate of our children is sealed.

The land it calls out to me and weeps for what used to be;
And our ancestors mourn, for a land that is torn;
And our children who’ll never be free, in a future we’re too blind to see.

We fracture the land ‘neath our feet, in the endless death-race to compete;
Our ground-water brings death, Earth takes her last breath;
And our children fall sick in the heat, and the air they must breathe on the street.

The land it calls out to me and weeps for what used to be;
And our ancestors mourn, for a land that is torn;
And our children who’ll never be free, in a future we’re too blind to see.

We’ve cut down the forests of trees, we’ve poisoned the life giving bees;
We’ve fractured the land with our grasping hands;
Yes the fate of our children is sealed, in a land that now cannot be healed.

The land it calls out to me and weeps for what used to be;
And our ancestors mourn, for a land that is torn;
And our children who’ll never be free, in a future we’re too blind to see.
Oh why did we never quite see, this wasn’t the way it should be?

The Land It Calls Out To Me

Beneath the Moorland Sky

Come with me to moor and mountain; listen to the curlew’s cry;
Hear the skylark rising, singing; here beneath the moorland sky.
Come with me to moor and mountain; listen to the curlew’s cry;
Hear the skylark rising, singing; here beneath the moorland sky.	

Walk with me the hidden pathways; show me where the wild hares lie;
Ancient standing stone and circles; lie beneath the moorland sky.
Come with me to moor and mountain; listen to the curlew’s cry;
Hear the skylark rising, singing; here beneath the moorland sky.

Roam along the wooded valleys; where the wind in branches sighs;
Rise to heather-scented breezes; out beneath the moorland sky.
Come with me to moor and mountain; listen to the curlew’s cry;
Hear the skylark rising, singing; here beneath the moorland sky.

Climb with me to rocky hilltops; see the rushing clouds go by;
Come alive in wind and rainstorm; free beneath the moorland sky.
Come with me to moor and mountain; listen to the curlew’s cry;
Hear the skylark rising, singing; here beneath the moorland sky.

When my days on earth are numbered; and I pass, please let me lie;
On the heather moors forever; peace beneath the moorland sky.
Come with me to moor and mountain; listen to the curlew’s cry;
Hear the skylark rising, singing; here beneath the moorland sky.
Free beneath the moorland sky; peace beneath the moorland sky

Rhiannon's Ride

Epona Dreams - Little Wren

My Spirit flies from passing night
Over mountains, silent in the dawn
On wings of Morning, soaring to a new day
In the stillness, touching beauty
Finding Peace

I am Moon Child, in darkness born
The Keeper of the Elder Ways
I stand in shadows of yesterdays
An ancient power, rises in me.

As shadows dance ‘neath restless trees
The Spirits call and here I be
In circle cast on ancient lands
Where others once stood, now here I stand

As moon mists rise, in sacred night
I stand alone, in blessed light
I am the future and all that’s been
I am the heart that weeps unseen.
