IN THE MOONLIGHT DEEP

The Visitors by Jana Mashonee 

the song that inspired the write..........

In The Moonlight Deep

I'm dancing in the moonlight deep

I'm dancing in the sun

I'm dancing in the mountain keep

That holds no heart but one.

Like echoes from another time

I sing my songs of joy

And hunt for treasures with the tools

My heart finds to employ.

The eagle watches silently

The deer observes my dance

The brown wren seeks to settle near

But doesn't take the chance.

I bathe in waters crystal clear

And purify my self

Lie in the smoke of sweet grass scent

Till there is nothing left.

I speak the words of holy men

I pray my fathers' chants

I see the visions Spirit sends

When I stand up and dance.

And I'm dancing at the rainbow's end

I'm dancing in the streams

I'm dancing on the tall green hills,

In the valleys of my dreams.

Like Turtle crawls in perseverance

And Wolf howls in the night

I laugh at Trickster's fun and games

And keep out of his sight.

And on I go through falling rain,

In morning's sparkling dew

Into the haunted realms of men

Until I find you.

(If you are Shadow,

I am Light

But I crave you

Like Day craves Night.

In Warrior Dance

And ancient tongue

I'll dance to arms

Where I belong.)

An empty heart compels me go

Though I keep it hidden well

And feet of longing carry me

To the place no man can tell.

And I'm dancing in the twilight blue

I'm dancing in the sky

I'll dance until the vow is kept

Upon the day I die.

I'm dancing in the midnight dark

I'm dancing in the embers

Of a fire that burned so long ago

Not a living soul remembers.

But I remember when I dance

And all the secrets keep

To give back to the One Who Waits

There in the moonlight deep.
