The Beginning Of Times

Silk of blue woven by the moon
Red spun by the sun
Of the sun’s gold


Silver in wrists and in her rings
Hair braided in red
Her shoes featherlight


As reeds and straws on the shore
As bark and foliage
As clamshells and sand


My maiden’s flesh
Now fish in the lake deeps
Her blood now waters blue


Oh god of sleep
Tell in my dream
Where has my maiden gone
Where lies my mermaid now


Rise above the waves
From the waters’ grave
From the side of spottled stones
Become alive again


These shores are for memory
These waters not for baiting
No shallows for the thirsty


No sun beheld above these shores
No reflection of the moon on these waters here


My maiden’s hair
Grass on the waters’ edge
Now willows on a shore
