What a Mystery You Are to Me

What a mystery you are to me

What a wonder to behold

What a dream I had that you were mine

In a land so long ago

When a knight rode in on fiery steed

When a faerie came to see

When a love grew up from a tiny seed

In two hearts where dreams were free

Where the knight was deft with his two-edged sword

Where the faerie sang a spell

Where such noble deeds were told of them

In all villages and dells

Why a knight so sworn to gallantry

Why a faerie queen so fair

Why a pair whose bond would seal their fates

In a moment's mission dared

How a knight did say to his lady love

How a faerie was betrothed

How a promise given then is now

In a mystery so told

Who can say what is to a soul so old

Who can know when faeries die

Who can fathom such a mystery

In our hearts where love abides

Sister Spirit, Hear Me Calling...a song

Sister Spirit, can you hear me

I am calling out your name

Will you answer to the wind speak

When it calls to you again

Can you hear me in the winter

Through the snowflake's silent fall

Can you hear me in each new bud

As the springtime brings it's thaw

Sister Spirit hear me calling

I am calling out your name

Will you meet me in the dawning

In the place where spirits pray

When I call will you come near me

When you hear me speak your name

For you know me as I know you

I am calling you again

Can you hear it in the forest

Hear it rustling through the trees

In the waves out on the ocean

Hear me calling o'er the sea

Sister Spirit let your heart lead

For it always knows the way

To your answers to your questions

From before and for always

Sister Spirit I am calling

Will you answer to your name

You will know me in the wind speak

In the circle's centered place

Over and Done

How do you know when it's over and done

When over is over and over is done

When wrong can't be righted and over can't be come

When something is empty and all's come undone

No whisper, no silence can speak to my ear

No voices, no calling, no words I can hear

There's simply no way to retrieve what I fear

Is over and over is way overdone

So I'll leave without saying good-bye now, my dear

Like you left me forever long ago as I'd feared

On my heart is your imprint, all faded with tears

But I'll heal in good time, now I'm done

You reached out and grabbed me, pulling me in

With fervor and fever and love talk pretend

Only I didn't know you were fooling, my friend

Now I do, now it's over, I'm done

Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever learn well

Or just keep on believing in my own fairy tales

Of how good love would be if it isn't to fail

I don't know, I just know that I'm over and done

So read the fine print and find I'm shipping out

Off to life as before you and without a doubt

I'll be better off lonely than I was with the drought

From waiting for you, now you're over and I'm done

Journey In

I must now abide

Within

Inside the spirit

Of my soul

Where imperfection

Doubt and fear

Cannot reveal

Their hated goal

I must then go where no one sees

To find the deepest inner core

To bring to love that part of me

That must now be the open door

I must now save the inner voice

Before she silences my soul

I dare not miss the calling choice

To bring to light the fire below

With torch to light my trembling way

My hand to wall to steady me

I will descend the heart of me

And find the treasure that I seek

And then once found, will it reveal

All that I need to life revive?

No, only that one thing I need

To bring my spirit back alive

To light of day, to health of dawn

To warm, soft earth and healing life

My journey to resume again

With renewed spirit in my pack

~~let it flow~~
