Haerelneth's Journey Lyrics

Winter
through snowy paths she was riding,
mountains rising high
but since three moons her heart had stopped flying,
in her mind a deafness to the life around.
Moonlight
she bowed to whisper her prayer
and then suddenly
the voice bloomed in her mind and grew stronger,
with eyes bright with new hope she stood up and...
“Cross the river till the grove to where you belong,
the giant oak tree will renew what is lost to you.
Wait by her roots till in your heart sprouts a song,
she will reach for your mind
and rescue you from all your misery”.
She rode along the river till she found the enchanted grove,
the lake was bright and clear, and then she saw the giant tree.
The leafy boughs seemed to reach out to her,
the Mother’s warm embrace
Then her bare feet felt a throb through the ground
and the huge trunk glowed from silver to brown.
Deep in her heart a grip was soon released
and a soft song all her sadness now pierced.
Springtime
greeting the new leaves and flowers,
the fair elf walked by
feeling one with the birds, trees and rivers.
In her mind devotion, love and joy for life.
“Cross the river till the grove to where you belong,
the giant oak tree will renew what is lost to you.
Wait by her roots till in your heart sprouts a song,
she will reach for your mind
and rescue you from all your misery”.
