I see the sun, and in her fire,
I drown my heart with my soul's desire.
Through Shaman's eyes, the skies I soar;
Sweet eagle and deer I have been before!
Barefoot over virgin earth,
The stench I breathe, of the minds without mirth.
Once blinded by the sunlight,
I dream through the feather-shrouded realm of night!
Through Shaman's eyes, the skies I soar!

I’ve got something here…
Something worse than fear,
And it aches and it breaks,
And yearns for life…
With such livid eyes,
Love has rent the skies,
And though such passion’s afire,
My god-light yearns.
If my fall from grace, is to touch your face,
Deny my island will
With such a caress;
With the stars as near,
I’ll overcome my fear,
And fall…fall,
To those Arician vales.
From my wildwood of heart,
Sweet solitudes apart,
The Muse has danced my blood;
From a deep lonely land,
To suddenly take your hand,
Casts me between the worlds…
In those early hours,
When the poetry flowers,
As though a lifetime of silence
Has come to this…
In those early hours,
Deep in midnight’s bowers,
Comes a touch…
The ghost of your flesh…vivid eyes…
From across the miles,
Wreathed in glowing smiles,
It warms, and dazzles,
And dazzles and dazzles…
A gift to enrapture the flesh.
Mesmerised, I my passions awake,
The wind may scatter my thoughts to the brake,
Where night is lost to dream!
To have danced,
To have lived and loved,
Is, in this dew-drop life,
A god-song, a play,
With laughter that beckons and screams!
Soft, sweet flower, let me enter…
Every part of you, your secrets, your dreams…
Flesh and spirit intertwined,
Wild oak and ivy, moon-struck and loved…

I could paint a thousand picture,
When I sit between your ancient walls,
And I listen in the moonlight, as the screech owl
Utters eerie, lonely calls.
All is still, it lets your mind unwind,
The solemn ruins feel no pass of time.
I see the image of the spirits, as they walk within
The Valley of the Cross...
The playing of the shadows...
The glimmers of the stars shine on the moss...
Witness to the ever changing lands,
The ancient stones retain their aim to stand...
My soul will dwell within your walls,
And I will be there...
Midsummer 1987
