A celebration of Imbolc as the Snowdrop heralds the return of Spring.

I wrote this on 7th January after a wonderful long walk!

How we can all benefit from the power of Awen!

Enjoy :grin:

The lyrics for my above song are: (sorry, forgot to put them on the last post)

Hear the song of Awen, feel the power of her
See the world is changing as sleeping spirits stir
All around is whispering in wooded grove and glen
Nature is awakening and Mabon's here again

Let us see, let us see
You can set our spirits free
Let us fly, let us fly
To the castle in the sky
Here we are, here we are
Help us catch that falling star
When we all join hands together, we can make a change for you

But you can't see the beauty, you don't have any need
For flowers, trees and magic, you're living for the greed
You don't see rives blacken, you'll watch as skies turn grey
The ice-caps will just disappear if we keep on this way

Let us see, let us see
You can set our spirits free
Let us fly, let us fly
To the castle in the sky
Here we are, here we are
Help us catch that falling star
When we all join hands together, we can make a change for you


(As you can see - the first verse chants the changes happening at this time of year and the second verse explains the problems with humanity. The chorus offers a solution).
