Danu
Sarah Midland 1985 (The Dalles)
savaged by the human tide,
fed by those who fought with pride,
a gleaming jewel in blackest night,
birthing life, love and light,
a burning star, a brilliant fire,
one for all to love and admire,
but in our hearts a darkness grew,
forgetting all we ever knew,
the words are there, echoing still,
they call to us and always will...
