Another piece of poetry to the book series I'm collaborating on.

Hoping to get this published some day. But now? The work continues . . .

The Prophecy of the Seven Songs


The Dragon Mother has sung
Sung out the melodies of life and love
Lilith, the Fire of Creation,
Gone forth into the world
Through her Children, all Seven.
Sung into Life, sung out of Love
Sung for all Creation.

The Dark Father has spoken
Taken up the Keeping of the Songs
Abban, the Keeper of Secrets
He who Guards the Songs
Reaching into the world
Through his Wisdom, all Seven
Guarded in darkness, guarded in fire,
guarded for all Creation

In the Days of the Guardians Awakened
The Songs lie hidden
In hearts and souls joined
Life and Death,
Mind and Heart,
Flora and Fauna
And the Spirit that binds them all.

In the Days of the Guardians Besieged
The Phoenix burns bright
In the souls of twice seven:
Healing and Renewal,
Magic and Passion,
Plant and Animals
And the Ties between them all.

Comes the Swan Singing
And the Raven of the Moon,
The Healer of Minds
And the Mountain Wolf,
The Storm-Wielder
And the Lion-Hearted
And the Bard, singing the world awake.

Comes the Dark Rose of the Night,
And the Lady of the Sword,
Magic’s own Spirit reborn
And the Star of the Islands
The Wise One of the Moon,
And the Crowned Hunter,
And the Phoenix to lead them.

In the Days of the Guardians Enshrined
They shall find each other:
a Company of the Song,
a Company of friends united.
They shall bring the Songs to Life
They shall bring the Songs to Light
And save all from the Cold and the Dark.
