Searching for The Sun

Formed into being at the dark of the Moon

born into body when Her light was full

but seem to be spinning around this earth on my own

Sun, Sun are you shining still?

I’m lost and alone in the dark and its cold

been searching for ages for your golden light

it’s been a good journey wandering free

but now I need daytime to balance the night

I stop atop the cliffs and called you from mountain top to sea

and in my heart I heard you answer – you’ll come when I find me

so I followed Moon from East to West

North to South I dreamt and cried

restlessly seeking

laughing and weeping until I thought my heart had died

Winter reigned for many years

I turned inwards and did not see

until one day I had a dream

that you were also looking for me

I was lost and frozen to ice

yet your words brought the promise of Spring

Aviemore, Scotland, 2002

bit by bit I began to thaw

and once more heard the Robin sing

I stood alone

head bowed in thought

Moon was waiting I cried and fought

then I whispered a silent prayer

I followed my heart

and found my Self there

Isle of Raasay, 2001

dancing alone on a rugged hilltop

Moon bright shining down

in the purple heather singing

wearing a starry gown

I laughed aloud, I’d been too blind to see

that my heart was also looking for me

we embraced and loved and merged into one

and set off again to find my Sun

So I’ve dreamt my way through ancient forests

Sleeping in an Oak Tree, New Forest, England, 1999

once thought I saw a ray piercing the night

hoped I find you in a magic clearing

but it was just my reflection silvery white

Now I’ve wished upon a shooting star

it led me here to these mountains of snow

I’ve come on faith that Spring will come

but its cold down here

don’t you know?

I need your light so that I can see

the darkest hour is just before dawn

when I’ve climbed the highest white peak

Chamonix, France, 1999

will the blizzards go?

will it then be morn?

Love and Light

Moon and Sun

Silver and Gold

all is one
