MY HARP AND LUTE

My Harp and Lute are wood and wire,
crafted lovingly and slow
Their music brings me from the pain
of this frail World here below
and takes me to the Doors of Heav'n;
whither upward I would go.

My Drum's a heartbeat, keeping time,
Marks the measure of the tune
Counts the moments of the Dance
Sets the sygil of the Rune.
On that rock I build my Song
Singing to the rising Moon.

Harp and Lute, and Drum....and Words;
Words to sweep, and twist, and roll,
Words the weft to weave the web
Woven with a single goal:
A Web to catch My Lady's heart;
A Web to touch My Lady's Soul.
