walking winter, a pauper —
richer in my soul

Lone predicament
walking winter, a pauper —
richer in my soul
Copyright Francis 2021
The shaman’s spirit
abroad, deep in winter’s woods;
speaks in runic tongues
Copyright Francis 2021
My soul’s prime journey,
flooded fen to woodland crag —
see where I have been

I have loved Clannad for many years, the family of musicians from County Donegal in the north west of the Irish Republic. They are most notable for singing folk songs in their native Irish tongue, though not exclusively.
This song comes from their 1987 album ‘Sirius’, probably one of their most ‘commercial’ albums, with some really gorgeous tunes, including this one, ‘Turning Tide’; it speaks volumes to me now all these years later — especially the symbolism and imagery, so appropriate to what is going on in our world at present. Take note of the lyrics.

Barren is my soul
I project skeletal trees
Solace lies within

Closer than we know
Describing our true nature
Contemplate the stars
