about

I was inspired to write this song for an October Full Moon Circle, and as I was thinking of that time of year, and death and renewal, I was imagining what it could feel like to transition from one life to the next, as one does.

I believe that the soul is eternal, and that we choose to experience various lifetimes as humans/animals/other creatures/plantlife, like choosing a menu of things/experiences that will further grow your soul. OR your spirit can choose to move on to other ethereal pathways in this Universe.

Since Reincarnation is a soul journey that many folks in some Earth religions believe, what happens when our physical, earthly bodies die and our spirits are free isn't an exact science. While no one knows for SURE what the process is, I was contemplating patterns and cycles as we move into this Autumn time and the thinning of the veil, and this came to my mind as someone, perhaps one of my ancestors, whispered into my ear.

[Am]Horned owl [E]sounding, [Am]scaring [E]up an evening [Am]meal
[Am]Full moon [E]shining, [Am]Dancing to [E] the Raven's[Dm]call,
I [E7]twirl, in the [Am]silvery light, [E]through the [Am]veil. [E]

[Am]Spirits [E]find me, [Am]clothe me in [E]gossamer and [Am]light,
[Am]Feed me am[E]brosia, [Am] hold me [E]as we dance our [Dm]way,
In[E]to, the [Am]deepest part, [E]of the [Am]night. [E]

[F]Floating on [Am]silent wings,
[F]Part of the [Am]starlight,
[F]Flowing am[Am]ong the Ways,
And [E]on, to,
that next [Am]life. [E] [Am] [E]

[Am]Lining the [E]pathway, [Am]lo do I [E]see who came be[Am]fore,
Mothers and [E]Fathers, [Am]sisters and [E]brothers, reaching [Dm]back
[E]Down, [Am]Generations. [E] To my [Am]Core. [E]

[Am] Stepping in [E]bright light, [Am]I choose to [E]see what is to [Am]come,
Joy and [E]Sorrow, [Am]Struggle and [E]Beauty, Love hard [Dm]won,
And [E]still I [Am]choose to go, [E]for my [Am]Soul. [E]

[F]Floating on [Am]silent wings, [F]Part of the [Am]starlight
[F]Flowing am[Am]ong the ways, and [E]in, to,
that next [Am]Life. [E] [Am] [E]

[Am] [E] [Am][E][Am] [E] [Am] [Em]
