Banishing


unspoken blessing

i am the star - i shine in your eye
i am the leaf - i fly in your wind
i am the dog - i howl at your moon
i am the road - cut over your hill

i am the wood - and you are the fire
i am the water - and you are the wind
i am the metal - and you are the hammer
beating your secret tattoo on my face

hail the sun - we may sing to him openly
hail the moon with a finger closed lip
sing for the dawn of the birth pangs of aeons
and secrets well kept in the heart of the night

i am the key - and you are the gatekeeper
i am the words - and you are the tongue
all men shall seek you and no man shall keep you
and age shall not wither your unspoken blessing
