Oh Such Sweet Exhilaration

In the corner of a hillside cave
Upon a rocky outcrop laid
A crown of soothing wishes made
With sacred vows that she once gave.

And ancient prayers of whispered grace
Still waited with such patient calm
To touch our heart, to take our arm
To walk with us through misted lace.

So far away their voices told
In choral Celtic overtones
Of star cast stones and ancient bones
And memories they forever hold.

A priestess in so many ways
Of trees and streams and come to be’s
Of softly sighing rune cast seas
And most of all, of blessed days.

In glades of soft Celtic creation
A whispering tree, a fluttering bird
So many prayers there, though unheard
Yet oh such sweet exhilaration…
