about

Guiding the soul home.
Releasing, honouring and giving new meaning to that life as it transitions into other realms and is transformed into something else that can live on eternally in the memory of the heart.
A song about fertility, about womanhood and tuning into the creative power of the womb space.
First flower - first child.

lyrics

Flow down the stream, in from my dreams
Flow down the riverbed, you will be guided home

Flow down the stream, all is not what it seems
Flow down the riverbed, i’m waiting to guide you home

Softly, oh softly there is a fierceness in you
But softly, oh softly I feel your petals pushing through

And if you were a flower in my garden then I must pluck you and replenish you, so your seeds must grow
If you were a flower in my garden, oh come hither to me so you will know
Come hither to me, then you’ll know

I have picked you as one of my finest
Petals five with a trinity of three betwixt you and me
Theres a knot binding us you see
Come, come, come, come unto me
And I…

One by one I pluck your petals and I let them flow down the red, the red crimson river  Letting each go, a story that will carry on spiralling through time
And each will become a feather for the bird to take flight and soar so high like the eagle in the night

And each petal will grow roots to become new trees in the forest of your heart
I see a grove before me now, before me now, before me now
Before me you’re lying now, before me, from thy somehow
