Sacred spirit woman
we know you must
be on your way now

we have held the gate open
into a garden of light
where you once kissed us with
stars

It's time to go now
(sacred spirit woman)
back into all of us

I am an unquantifiable force
travelling
travelling

The magic was alive
in my heart before
I knew what magic was

Before I understood gold
or love
they simply were there
all around me

we reaped our gold
buried the treasure
nursed our wounds

after the war

(the adventure would not leave
us alone, haunted by our
former dispensation)

The demons came,
one by one

Yet we dispatched them
in favor of hearth & heart
(still something burned inside)

a thing not to be satisfied

until we answered the phantoms,
reckoned with old sorrows
gave birth to innocence
