OLDER THAN THE GODS

I breathe
I speak
I sing
for the dawn

I grow
I sigh
I echo
Through the oak

I melt
I boil
I toughen
Like iron

I’ve weathered all these years
A riddle in the stone

For too long my story’s been untold
Thaw my songs from the frost
Cast the spell of words unspoken
Older than the gods

We are tales that never should be buried
Pass my wisdom on
Where golden fields gamble with the sunlight
Older than the gods

I reach
I spread
I rake
Through the ground

I shine
I glide
I descend
into swamps

I colour
I copper
I brighten
The fires

I’ve forested the seeds
From marshes out-spreading

For too long my story’s been untold
Thaw my songs from the frost
Cast the spell of words unspoken
Older than the gods

We are tales that never should be buried
Pass my wisdom on
Where golden fields gamble with the sunlight
Older than the gods
