Natural Veil

Hidden far away from me

The very tree of nature dwells

The tree of life in frost and freeze

The natural, simple spirit swells

Surrounded by the veil of grace

Branches bow in Brigid's shape

Leafless now but green leafs race

To seek Beltane in love's embrace

Winsome willow mirror mild

Blessed be the lonely child

Soul of nature's greatest gifts

Warm me in your spirits lips

One with you in inner space

Sheltered in your veil of grace

Forever you reach out to me

Your life and love have set me free
