spirit come

by ruth gordon

This song came to me on a night vigil at a stone circle on Halloween. It speaks of the cycle of life, death and rebirth as natural elements, and is dedicated to the ancestors that live in the natural world.

Spirit come oh spirit fly

Dust to dust

As fire you rise

Unfold your body back into the earth

And give birth to all things

Spirit come oh spirit flow

Sink deep to the waters

That run below

Dream us a dream that dreams us on

To where we belong
