This song could be about a ritual in a silent grove hence the title. But what it's really about is just...nature and life, I guess.

For those of you who know it, this is to the tune of the Hebrew song "D'ror Yikra".
)O(
The songs we sing call on powers old
The dances tell stories yet untold
Breezes tumble through the air, flowers rise up soft and fair
The sundrops fall like a rain of gold. (x2)
-----
The trees they reach branches to the sky
The stars they sing to the birds that fly
Come and join, hand in hand, dance in circles 'cross the land
We dance our life as we live and die. (x2)
-----
The fishes' eyes tell of hidden seas
The insects spin on the morning breeze
Dogs that roll on the earth, know of death and know of birth
The fire brings shadows to the trees. (x2)
-----
The moon at night and the sun by day
They light our path and they guide our way
We honor them all life long, work and dance and gift and song
They laugh as one, God and Goddess gay. (x2)
-----
The dance it weaves round an ancient tree
The song it sets weary spirits free
Working finished just begun, one is all and all are one
The power's called, so mote it be! (x2)
)O(
This can be used as a circle drawing/quarter calling/something. The third verse is each of the elements, the fourth is Spirit, and the fifth closes it. So it can be used to start off a ritual, perhaps paired with a dance. What do you think? I'd love to hear your ideas!
