Ghigau's Song
(Gaia—The Goddess) I sang in the morning
In the rising sun,
In the rippling rhythm
Where the waters run
To the redbird promise
of eternal spring
In love and life and everything. Sing! Sing! The circle goes around;
The Fire in the center is my sacred mound.
The Smoke is a covenant between you and me;
For I am The Singer of The Song, said She. I sang in the middle
Of the blazing noon
With the sweat and the tears
Of a lonesome tune
Through the long hard struggle
When hope was gone;
But I am The Song and The Song lives on! I danced in the evening
When the moon was thin
To the drumming rhythm
of The Thunder Men.
I danced in the lightning
And touched the earth,
A spark of light that brought re-birth. Dance! Dance! The circle goes around;
The Fire in the center is My sacred mound.
The Smoke is a covenant between you and Me;
For I am The Lady of The Dance, said She. I danced in the middle
Of the darkest night
In the blackness covering
Wrong from right.
They buried My name
and thought I was gone;
But I am The Dance and The Dance lives on! —Raven Hail |
