Nova
Nova
Mountain sunshine, take my hand;
Wrap your warmth around my shoulders;
Slip your arm within my arm;
Dance in my eyes as on sparkling waters;
Warm my heart to grow as columbine.
Mountain moon, weave me a gown;
Cast in my spirit a summer night serene;
Braid my hair with silver ribbons;
Give my face your harvest glow;
Let me too reflect the sun’s light.
Mountain rains, wash my heart clean;
Fill up each day with tender grace;
Create in me a wellspring of peace;
Give me the melody of rushing rivers;
Let me share the joy of rambunctious raindrops.
Mountain wind, give birth to my soul;
Shake the dust off of my feet;
Sing me songs of rustling leaves;
Give me the words to a snowstorm lullaby;
Send my feet to greet the dawn’s light.
Mountain stars, give me your dreams;
Diamonds that twinkle to wear for a ring;
An open heart for a wishing star;
Shining dreams to hold in the night;
Make my life a heavenly nova.
