AS LIGHT


When the time comes
And the winds gather in the west
Follow the road into the woods
Meet with the old ones

The trees will part
A meadow of wild flowers
Yellow purple and blue
Sit in a circle so they can teach you

Out of the pale blue sky
He comes to sit by you
Listen do not speak
He knows your questions

If you are clear of mind
Hear him sing the ancient songs
The wisdom in the chant
Inside you feel his truth

We have all come to the circle of life
Here surrounded by the universe
Cradled in nature
The complexity of the soul

All at once self and other
Dimensions of existence
Experience and conjecture
One in everything

White light purifying
Blue light healing
Brown light of the earth
Green of the heavens

Let yourself be as light
Accept love and blessing
Do not break the circle
Forever find happiness in its bond
