| Spirits Dance The day was bright in Winter's light but warm enough to shed The friends set out upon the path the Spirit Dancers led Before us loomed the mountains tall and older than our song They beckoned us and on we went and on and on and on Spirits dance within this ring Power of the ages bring Quench our thirst eternal spring And bind us at this gathering Through meadows green and forest dark where grow the wisest trees With reaching branches overhead and mossy floor beneath We finally found the place we sought atop a rocky hill And there we stood in silent awe the very earth was still Spirits dance within this ring Power of the ages bring Quench our thirst eternal spring And bind us at this gathering A ring of stones upon a bluff born in another time A place of power rising up between your soul and mine Now sing and dance our earthly chants and raise the cone of power For in this place we are remade this is an holy hour Spirits dance within this ring Power of the ages bring Quench our thirst eternal spring And bind us at this gathering Sharon Skinner 1995 Sharon Skinner |
