about

It begins

lyrics

What is that sound you hear in the forest
just before dawn's blush
What is that thing setting skin to tingle
but fingers cannot brush
What is that call that rattles the brain
and makes you feel alive
and bids you walk through moonlit trees
where ancient ones survive

I want to know the dusk laid pathway
marked by her horseshoe track
Just like you, the call of moonbeams
will ever drag me back
Birdsong dances through the dimming
I feel more enchanted still
The white mare races, and I follow
With courage, sight, and will

So now I grasp a sheaf of riddles
Harvested from the dark
and bound with chords of silver night-
a fading watermark
With moon drenched dreams and starry vision
I’ve scribbled these notes and words
Set wonder free, and set barriers fading
by offerings sober and absurd
