DIAMOND FIRE
I saw the hawk
high on the hill
I heard its call
deep in my bones
diamond fire
the blood red stream
did I behold
all the barren fields
will they return to gold?
diamond fire
catherine dropped out of school
she wanted to pursue
her ambition to become
a mountain wolf

ARTHUR'S SEAT
Summer
in a red dress
winter
in a black gown
where
are you headed?
wondering
forever wondering
the hills
of no return

AMBER CAVE
I went in search of the amber cave
I went with my axe and my feathers bright
it was far out on the shoreless tide
where no ships arrowed time's bow
and there upon the estuary
I found a rusted spade, an emerald sword, and a mask of jade
the time stood still as I made my choice
where no ships arrowed time's bow
but I never found the amber cave
though I went with my axe and my feathers bright
it was far out on the shoreless tide
where no ships arrowed time's bow
I woke up with the mask of jade

FIELD IN ALBION
It was in a field in Albion
that I laid me down
with the owl on your shoulder
the leaves on your brow
it was in a field in Albion
that I took up the plough
and the swallows jewelled the orchards
to banish the hangman's frown
we were wiser than the horses
we were poorer than the sparrows
the were greener than the acorns
we were eagles we were fools
it was in a field in Albion
that I laid me down
and the blackbird's call annointed us
beneath the coffin of the western stars
it was the past
it was the present
it was the time not left to come
it was in a field in Albion
we were wiser than the acorns
we were poorer than the sparrows
we were greener than the acorns
we were eagles we were fools

FIRE MAIDENS
When the fire maidens call you from your sleep
do not look away
and do not try to hold their images
the light will not be tamed
four riders came from the land
they brought with them seven magic stones
we found them hid on the shore
and between the ribs in the hollow cave
we left our skins by the side of the road
we left our bones to the wolves
do you have the strength to return the gaze
of the fire maidens?

SILVER ANTLERS
The moon is rising
our feathers start to glow
twilight surrounds us
ragged winds blow
distance is calling
the hills hold out their arms
a crown of silver antlers
to illuminate the drowning road
