Then as the Sun rises
And day overtakes night,
Our Moon moves to her rest
Bathed in glorious sunlight.
She reigns through her faces
With a crystal white light,
Lady of Darkness,
Queen of the Night.
Our Sun is the Lord
Of the daytime and might,
Father Sun,
Golden Sun,
Warmth and bright light.
Yet no battle do they do,
No war do they bring,
For they are the oldest of lovers
And to us they do sing,
The most ancient of songs,
Of waking and sleep,
Of beginnings and endings
And in their arms do they keep,
All of our world
And the worlds far beyond,
Safely and gently,
Protected from harm.
Our own loving mother
Sings to us through the night,
Our father holds our days
Filled with warm golden light.
They bring us our tides,
Help grow our babies and food,
We are their children,
Both hurtful and good.
Their dance is eternal,
Their love infinite.
A continuous form,
Hand clasped and held tight,
They circle roundabout
From day unto night.
Heralding and parenting
The seasons of our Earth,
They mark out our lifetimes
From birth to rebirth.
