Moonlight Vision

Inspired by my ancestors once in a...

 

"Moon Light Vision"

 

The moon light shone

around the stone

and all at once

I was not alone.

 

A crowd came 'round

without a sound

I only heard

my own heart pound.

 

Yet they spoke in tones so deep and clear

filled with a vision and hope so dear.

Time is all that comes between

history and the fulfilled dream.

 

Druid and bard, chieftain and king

each with a message for me to sing!

Wise and gifted,  steady and bold

each with a passion that warmed the cold.

 

CuChulainn stood, placing his hand

on Pierce, as they gazed upon the land.

Druid and priest, ancient and new

uniting for us both Christ and Lugh

 

And each of the women who came to me

some over land and some over sea,

Boudicca, Brid,  Rhiannon and Mebd,

From Tir na nOg, on her white steed, Niamh.

 

Each of them bringing a message this night

sharing their spirit, shedding some light.

"Do not forget us, we're always with you

guiding our people in all that you do.

 

Our time has past

old ways don't last

It is our spirit

that holds on fast.

 

To look to the past is no great wrong

If you do not  linger there too long,

for the gods and heroes paved the way

for you to welcome a brand new day.

 

We are one heart, old and new,

so we pass on our vision of life to you.

You are the Celts of this new day

It is your turn to pave the way."

 

My mind knew what my spirit could see

I was honored to have these guests with me

And as their words echoed in my ear

I knew that I'd always feel them near.

 

The moon light shone

around the stone

and once again

I was all alone.
