Our language of love |
|
The Battle of |
|
TreesWe fought side by side |
|
No one had more |
|
Sharper consonants than you, love |
|
And my vowels, well, were trusted |
|
First comes the |
|
BirchRowan followed by the |
|
AshThen through the |
|
Alder she forms |
|
And merges with |
|
WillowThe |
|
Hawthorne blossoms |
|
As the Oak guards the door |
|
She is the hinge on which the year swings |
|
He courts the lightning flash and her |
|
Summoning the spirits |
|
Through incantations |
|
You said the |
|
Thunder God seems to have |
|
And our enemies are the |
|
ReedBut we knew the |
|
Furies held the |
|
Holly sacred |
|
We were insulated |
|
In a circle of words we'd drawn |
|
With wisdom sent from nine |
|
HazelsA Rowan fire and a |
|
Willow rod |
|
At ten comes the vine |
|
That generates bramble wine |
|
The constant change of the night sun |
|
A song in the blood of the white bull |
|
Our language of love |
|
The Battle of |
|
TreesWe fought side by side |
|
No one had more |
|
Sharper consonants than you, love |
|
And my vowels, well, were trusted |
|
From Ivy leaves is an ale that can unveil |
|
The hidden meanings and serpents |
|
Only revealed through visions |
|
Yes vowels could insert"A" was for the |
|
Silver Fir |
|
The Firs of course |
|
Then came next |
|
With Heather at her most |
|
Passionate |
|
The White |
|
Poplar's gift to the souls of the dead |
|
A promise that it was not the end |
|
But for the vine the "U", it's coffer |
|
Vowels and consonants |
|
The power of trees |
|
The power they hold |
|
The power of prose |
|
So when the church |
|
Began to twist the old myths |
|
They built their own |
|
Tower of Babel |
|
From Ulster to |
|
MunsterThe |
|
Reed gave way then |
|
To the Elder |
|
The Earth turns her will |
|
So that night follows day |
|
From dawn to dawn |
|
Fom Winter to |
|
WinterAt day the |
|
Ash had power over the |
|
AlderOur language of love |
|
The Battle of |
|
TreesWe fought side by side |
|
Then he said to me:"I've dodged bullets and even poisoned arrowsOnly to be foiled by the blade of a vowel" |
