Brighid

Here she comes
A river of red
Here she comes
A rush to the head
Here she comes
From her winter bed
Here she comes
Back from the dead

The sap is rising
A new fire in the hearth
Heartsong
Forging a new direction
Greening of the earth

Blessed Brighid

  1. This is genius:

    'A new fire in the hearth
    Heartsong
    Forging a new direction
    Greening of the earth'

    You play first with the hearth/heart sound and idea and the you top it with 'earth' whose pronunciation is different from 'hearth' is spelled similarly. Loved it. And the first stanza had me moving my head in synch. Many thanks.

    And you dig resonance fm, too. Great. Saying that, though, I haven't tuned in for a loooooong time. Thanks for the reminder! :-)

  2. Thank you!:-) I'm so pleased you spotted the connections between hearth/heart and earth- all so important to Brighid.

    I had a radio show on Resonance FM many moons ago and am about to resurrect the blog from it http://www.theshoeshow.blogspot.com
