The Leiden Riddle

Soaking meadow, wondrously cold,
From its interior first brought me forth.
I know in my mind, I was not made,
With woolen fleece
Nor hair from high craftsmanship.
Woofs are not wound for me, nor have I a warp.
Threads don’t resound for me through violence of blows.
Shutter won’t rattle, no loom reed strike.
Worms did not weave with skill of the fates.
Yet over the Earth I am adorned
With splendid garments before my heroes.
Flights of arrows I do not fear,
Though they come keenly out of the quivers.

A Heart Speaks

A heart speaks, a life returns.
A mouth breathes, and thoughts belong
In a time when words restrained,
In a time when love remained.
A heart sees, an eye looks over.
A mind hears, and sounds hang on
From a time when words restrained,
From a time when love remained.
A heart speaks, a life returns.
A mouth breathes and thoughts belong
From a time when words restrained,
From a time when love remained.

Another Way

It seemed like another day, where it all began.
Seemed like another place, they just turned and ran.
Where lies another place to be?
Uncensored. Unmentioned.
Feels like another day, all those idle thoughts.
Feels like another way, solace found once more.
Where lies another place to be?
Uncensored. Unmentioned.
It seems there’s no other day, found here as before.
Seems there’s no other way, washed up by the shore.
Here lies the other way to be.
Uncensored. Unmentioned.
It seemed like another day, where it all began.
Seemed like another place, they just turned and ran.
Where lies the other place to be?

Angel of the North

Angel of the North, all the hosts of Heaven,
Blessed maiden and mother,
All saints of this island through generations,
Souls of the faithful,
Benedicite Domine.
Life through all the depths,
Beasts of sky and field,
Benedicite Domine.
Those who’ve sung their praises through generations,
Souls of the faithful,
Benedicite Domine.

Immersion

Untie me from this fear.
Unite all these years.
If time reveres then time will steer.
Remind of this fear.
Rewind all these years,
And find again that timeless liberty.
