A Rose in Winter Fields

[ellyssian]

My mom copied this off the 2002 Holiday Card, so I don't have to look it up! =)

Here's the words to accompany the music described here...

A Rose in Winter Fields

Arose in Winter fields
a dream
of Elder mystery
a dance
of Ancient melody
aligning
hand in hand with thee

Old Oak thrums
beats time on mighty drums
Alder strums
lute strings quiver and hum

Arose in Winter fields
a flower
of beauty fey
a vision
of far off May
ascending
from Frosts-hold
to the sky so gray

Rowan dreams
as whirling Wirth wind cleans
Willow schemes
roots chilling ice-clad stream

Arose in Winter fields
a solstice
of the here and now
a memory
of the coming plow
amongst
snow blanketed realms i await thou

Maple sings
voice sticky-sweet it clings
Tall Pine brings
scented shelter under wing

A Rose in Winter fields
a flame
of Passion's might
a flare
of Red in worlds of White
alone afire
defiant of Winter's bite
