Invitation to a Dream

The sun enthroned at its height
gleaming gold, glorious light
now falls away to gentle pink
to greet the starlit night.

Gentle hands and dancing feet
fling open wide the door
between the worlds.
You are summoned to the circle.

Take the woodland paths
push aside your cares
hurry to the gathering
join us at the hill.

Fear not Pan nor Oberon
gaze on fair Titania.
Peaspod, Cobweb, Puck,
all await you here

Come to us, we who know,
all are not exactly as they seem
throw aside disbelief
open wide the dream.

River Daughter

Oberon threw a web of stars
Titania washed it with the dew
Roses opened,
as they should

Gentle daughter of the Tamar
Titania sleeping, dreamed of you.
Oberon bought you here
to dance

He pulled you from the depths of river
Placed you on a marble bridge
Leaving all the rest
to chance

Puck is always quick to meddle
He loves to open lovers eyes
He pierced me
with his well aimed lance

The river never flowed so far
The world was never quite so new
All was peaceful
in the wood

Gentle daughter of the Tamar
Tender smile and heart that’s true
Magic shines
in all that’s good
