My black diamond, with her

Russian goddess embroideries

Opening your circle

to my friends near and far

dressed in costume from corfu

and babbling about Egyptian magic

Reading you the sun princess by the fire

Tucked away out of the trap of death

The puppet queen, now you hold the strings

I will come back, renew and restore you

to life giving things

I’ll cherish, I’ll nourish your soul

with Hebridean folk songs learnt by heart

and the gift of the wild sea in me

I’ll counsel you out of the dark maze

lift you into the labyrinth you can follow

by your own passionate sense.
