Damnona
I speak your name and wait
Listening for some reply
Above my head
The wind sighs in the branches of the trees
What is your form?
How do I discern your shape?
How do I find you again after so long,
When you have been all but forgotten?
Tell me how to walk your ancient tracks
Show me a path that I may follow
Let me be the one to walk in the mists
And part the veils that lie between us

Damnona
I speak your name and know
That in my heart
The feeling is strong and true
Ancestral mother I see you now
The power of the land
Before we changed you forever.
Now we are afraid that we have lost you
And yet you remain where you always were
In the heart of this place
And I, just one child out looking,
Wondering when her mother will return.
Hoping to find some sign
That you have not left us

Damnona
I speak your name
And feel your presence near
The blackbirds sing their songs to you
As if in answer to my own desires
Mother Goddess of these green, rolling hills
I welcome you into my life.
And yet your mystery remains
But now the hidden path can be walked again
And I am one step closer to understanding
My bond with you and with this land

Vanora
