A Story of Cycles

It's such a beautiful, bright day today on the Nature Coast and great for reflecting upon the stories I've gotten to know intimately.
Today I'm sharing the story of the gates that were revealed at the time. Next time I'll tell the stories attached to the various legends in the song.

May Awen stir you ~ hippie


Gateways

Her voice  blows on the breeze
It sings you and it sings me

Renewal
(Sacred rebirth)
Of the May queen
From the entrance
(Feel the warmth of the womb)
Of the warm and watery cave

Shedding sea skin
(Living song of your soul)
Of the ron in the foamy green

It is sunrise
(The beginning of life won't you stay)
Won't you stay

The whispers of the snowdrops
Reflect upon the fading snow

Winter caillach
(The old crone of the night)
Leaves her dark and dreary mound
For the entrance
(budding fruits from the green hand of the grove)
Of the grove

In the forest
(At the base of the hills)
She finds the springs of Mother Earth
Drinking deeply
(Nourished milk of the mother and she sings)
Brighid sings

Sky Father can you hear me
Earth Mother can you feel me

As the blackbird
(Sends you deeper inside)
Sings his enchanting song
From the entrance
(The gateway to Rhiannnon's cave)
Of the cave

Callich Oidche
(White old crone of the night)
She spreads her gray and silvery wings

It is twilight
(The past has just begun)
Won't you stay
