GRANDMOTHER MOON by Eleanor Daley

Text by Mary Louise Martin

Lyrics:

She looks into and beyond my soul,
The lacy cedar boughs creating her shadows,
Cedar ones weave design of midnight canvas.
She looks into and beyond my soul,
She a powerful sacred hoop of full light,
Simplicity against the ebony blues and blacks of night sky land and crystal star people.
She looks into and beyond my soul,
Her round face of translucent beauty and light,
Quiet powers speak out in her name... We’lalin.
(We’lalin means “thank you” in Mi’kmaq.)
