Nightblossom

Kiss the petals when the stars all bloom
Dance the spiral and jump the broom
Climb the gyre through the darkened storm
By the crescent's horns the night is born.

And as I walked that lonely stair
And rode the sky on a starry mare
A great white owl rose in the sky
And dreamed the flight of lullabies.

Grandmother gazing from the stars
With shadowy eyes and silvery hair
Becoming a newborn child
Gazing down in the midnight air.

Spiraling down int eh nighttime sky...

And there within the halos' nest
The tattered wings of ravens nest
The woven twig and threat and thorn
The twinkling eyes of the moonlit faun.

And as I climbed that lonely tower
There within the midnight hour
The piping of the hillside breeze
The orchestra of windy trees.

Old one gazing from the stars
Wrinkles of wisdom and lines of grace
Suddenly the world grows calm
When you show your newborn face.

Spiraling down in the nighttime sky...

The drifting smoke of our vigil fires
Rises through the rainbow crown
The movement of the dance inspires
A vision spiraling to the ground
And as I wandered lost in awe
Without a worry or a fright
The loneliness was here no more
As silver wings filled the night.

The mirror in the indigo
Soft as sand and white as snow
Newborn eyes young and bright
Grace the elder face of night.

Spiraling down in the nighttime sky...
