My own path...

[Eirwen Hartsock]

My own path is set before me,
in a lighting that I may see.
For this gift I thank thee,
the Lord and Lady so divine.
Wonderful gift that is mine,
Great ones who sent me a sign.
I shall work, and study, and learn,
knowledge of seasons that turn,
for peace of spirit is what I yearn.

[Sagittarius]

Hey, I like that .. it's great.

[Eirwen Hartsock]

Gazing up at the sky tonight
I think of what has been brought to light.

My path and way, my hopes and goal,
of all that I wish to gain for my soul.

I could never be at peace today,
if you had not come to show me the way.

For this I give you my blessed thanks,
as I stand upon the mossy creek banks.

Here, where I got my very first glimps,
of the magick of faeries and woodland nymphs.

Where I learned how to listen to the trees,
and how to see as one of magick sees.

For all of this I give you thanks and praise,
Lord and Lady of the old ways.

[Silent]

OH my this is amazing,your are a great composer.
I almost feel like i am not good at this.

[Eirwen Hartsock]

Early in the morning I finally woke
to my worse nightmare, I could only choke
The day of exams and I'm one hour late
How could this be that I have this fate
nightmares I've had have ended like this
I couldn't image how it could end in bliss
How you did it, I will probably never know
But you took my dread and gave it a bow
Dressed it all up, and made it ok
Best of all you gave me hope today

Rushing to class, trying my hardest not to cry
My Prof just looked as I sat down with a sigh
"compairson number two" was all he said
I swallowed hard, with a great deal of dread
"you can take what you missed at the end of class"
"No way" I though, "is there a chance I could pass?"
How could I have given up hope so fast
But you look after me, I remembered at last
So Lord and Lady, Thanks is what I give
for the once nightmare which I live

Hope is what you reminded me of today
Hope is always near by, and never far away
A lesson I learned from this test
Forgive me for being so destressed
For a moment I forgot you were there
How could I, when all you do is care
Your forgiveness is all that I sought
Your forgiveness, I know, I've already got
For in the end you saved me from my fate
A lesson I gained from waking up late

[Eirwen Hartsock]

Lord and Lady of the Woodland Realm
In your homes of Oak and Elm
You have changed me these past few years,
Brought me Hope, and taken my Fears.
For all this and more I did not name,
I give you Thanks, all the same.

[Eirwen Hartsock]

A list of names which all are mine,
Long-lost memories all entwine,
Forgotten friends long since dead,
And words I should have never said.

Pain of memories and of faces,
Strangest urges for these lost places.
With lost souls brought to light,
Survival will take all my might.

Even now, it is simply not enough,
On my own, it is just too tough.
But by You Both I have been graced,
There is hope I should not waste

Oh Lord and Lady of all that breaths,
Masters of the animals and the leaves,
In this time of darkness and of woe,
Things are needed for me to grow.

Memories are coming back with force,
Things that must now take their course.
Please guide, and heal, and defend,
So my weary soul can finally mend.

[Eirwen Hartsock]

Things seem to be winding down to an end
And at last I feel things may finally mend.
However I’ve wondered and I have strayed,
And paths I’ve taken are so newly made.

I do not know which branch I should take,
Brick lanes, or dirt roads leads to a lake,
White picket fences, and a dark alley way,
With forks in the road, and tolls to pay.

I am lost, and cold and tired, from it all,
And I’ve tripped, stumbled and even had a fall,
I’ve looked to the stars and to the moon,
And ‘home’, I know, I will be very soon.

Being lost and without a ‘home’ is a test,
And while I have tried my very best,
Help is what I need, for this burden to bare,
Lord and Lady in your Woodland Lair.
