Child, upon waking at night



















Child, you're what's best from your mother and I
Mind of the Earth and heart of the Sky
Dream of the Dreamer and Song of the Golden
Pale of the snow drift, dance of the cold wind

The rush of the wolf pack
A whispering stream
The silence of pine groves
A tangle of mangroves

Gentle and old as the harvest moon
Cruel as the osprey
Proud as the loon
You are midnight's lagoon
                 dressed in mirroring stars

Yes you are, my sweet child
Yes you are
