Songbird

Songbird (Paganism) Sunshine and smiles the fire dances with life the air smells sweet and the Songbird sings of love. The Great Mother is content the river flows freely whilst her daughter chooses flowers for her hair and the Songbird sings of life. The redwoods stretch their branches to the heavens The mountains silently offer their prayers and the sweetness of life penetrates all and the Songbird sings of God. For we all dwell in the heart of God we can all learn the songs of the Songbird but we cannot keep her for ourselves for she sings of the life and love of God, for all living things, and all this is God. Sing me a song of life and love and I will listen with delight How sweet your song, how tender and soft Had I not tried to hold you, I might still be able to hear your song. Let me sing to you of the God that I know and see that it is the same. Would that you again rested on my shoulder i would not restrain your flight sing to me sweet sister of life, love, and God. Let me once more walk within the woods and laugh and sing of God's perfection. Let me dwell in the canyons Let me sit on the mountain peaks and bathe in the splendor of all that is God. Your here and gone in the blink of an eye So precious, so loving and so aloof. Let me but taste the nectar of your sweet song and I will not hunger or want, for I will have fed on the love of God ---4/13/2014
