"The lulling cradle"
Listen to part of this composition here
When the
waters were divided it called the wind along and the whole became a movement which
spread to all depths and all heights as one.
The
Great Maestro called Earth and she became. A great clump with precious veins of
life, sprouting a new growth.
The
expanse was filled with lights that ruled days and nights.
The moon
was chosen to light the path of waters as it ebbed and flowed, allowing wind to
follow.
The soothing
became a cradle, receiving Earth’s firstborn.
They
filled the waters and the skies.
Song was
born….
I perched on the high branches, seeing
my new world of beauty, I heard the messages in the wind as it moved over me
and I felt the urge to know where she comes from.
As my wings opened I almost fell but
wind was there to hold me, aligning me with my path. My feet lifted off my
branch when wind raised me and I tumbled into the strangeness of nothing to
hold on. But suddenly, a solid stream from wind caught my wings and I became
part of the skies.
Above the streams I followed, gliding up
high over mountains, seeing wide. Down into valleys I dived, beholding the
fragrances and colours.
The silver thread was there, always,
with many more. I became one with the wind and our flight made my wings ever
stronger as we flew on forever until we reached the great silver pool.
My journey ended and yet began anew.
From the highest rock I saw how my beautiful world unfolded. The spring of my lulling
cradle from where I was born….
The gliding waters are hauling the wind
along and the breeze touches my wings, summoning me to join. I take flight over
the glistening crystal, riding on waves of wind. I taste the salty foam as wind
plays over the smooth backs of flowing silver.
I see my other siblings as I fly across
- I see them in shallow puddles, I see them in the dark blue, some with wings
as mine come up into the sky to meet me, and others without wings dive back
into the silver pool.
We become as we were formed, forever
flowing with water and wind. And as the silver turned gold and then copper, we fly
to our new homes on the last rays of a setting sun, while water and wind
continues to gently sway our cradle.
The love of LORD GOD is my blue sky.
The birds teach me my freedom….
