Song to Aja
Come child, and dance with us
Your mother is the sun and moon
and you are no less than
a perfect star in our skies.
I have walked the nights alone too long
and seen no welcome candle in any window
to call me home,
but now there is a light that summons
and soothes and softens my life
where it touches my darkness.
She smiled, sweet as she is, and her music
spun us into life and sunshine again
my words completed the song
and you, sweet child, are the harmony.
There is nothing more complete
in my life
in my heart
in my mind
as what we three are and will be
in days to come.
Celebrate with us
sweet shining girl
Come and dance with us
My long night is over at last
and the wonder of what we are
fills me and sweeps my dreams
into breathing laughing life.
Dance with us
and sing this simple song
my heart only learned the words
and now will sing them forever
I will be the nighted hills
for both of you
and thank God
for the new found treasures
in my life.
Come and dance with us.
