Ancient Child

My mother's form is in my wings
The Wolf carried me in Rapture
My brother hath flown me in flame
With my sword the beast I slew
I am Sister to the Silver Wheel

I have danced to the twin flutes
The White Moon wiped the fever from my brow
My Father has food for many
His heart high as oak's crown
Have I not heard the waters of home?

The Lady who once was returns
I taught the young beside the eternal flame
I dance on the unhewn stone
How many ways have I had a name?
I am the Healer by the Well

I fought beside a Silver Hand
Sister I am to the Dragon in gold
Loved by the Lady of the Crown of the North Wind
The Isle I have known from the first
I play within the Wizards beard

We are, as I believe, all ancient children of the Sun whose lives interact in this realm at this time. Very cool, Jen.
