lyrics

Sound the hymn of the birds
Circled in their halo ring.
Above your head, in the sky,
Hawks cry and sparrows sing.

Feathered wings lift them high
All through the skies
And we see, you and I,
Reflected in their eyes.

We pace ‘round and ‘round
All on the hallowed ground,
Making circles of our own
Walking in the setting sun.

We’ve begun to see patterns
Woven through our lives.
Silver threads trail behind
Sewing soul to mind.

The sound of our feet
Echoes through the graves below.
Dust and bones hear the drones
Of the songs cycling above.

And the passed join in song
And a stitch is sewn.
And we feel the spider’s web
Twisting ‘round the dead.

Day to night. Death to life.
By dream or waking sight
Seasons pulse in blinking eye
Or by the Lantern’s light.

See the ripples spreading out
In the holy well.
Hear the water on the stone.
Hear the prayer finding home.

Vine on branch. Flame on wick.
Finger upon lips.
Feet on sand. Moon on sky.
Silently we stand.

Morning stars rise and fall
Far above us all.
Night to day - vigil stay -
Until we hear the birds.

about

Stone Breath Red Lion, Pennsylvania

Stone Breath is not new. It is cracked. Broken. Imperfect. Hidden. Weathered by the seasons.

We sing of ghosts and of forgotten paths through forest and fallow field.
