The Isle of Apples

Isle of Apples

As we come to a castle in the valley of the mind

We suddenly remember that there’s much we left behind

The magick ways of seeing and of being with what we find

Unto the Isle of Apples we shall return

But now times are much newer and much different than before

And the keen minds of the wordsmiths they re-manifest the lore

Now the mist is all around us as we stand here at the shore

Unto the Isle of Apples we shall return

Questing long for meanings far within the misty veils

Songs of love and death are spun from joy and from wails

Through sickness and through monsters for fortune and for tales

Unto the Isle of Apples we shall return

The cauldron of great mysteries lies hidden for to find

The odds of inner travelers our future to divine

Through mountains through forests for silver and for wine

Unto the Isle of Apples we shall return

Yonder ride the medicine-knights who quest to find a way

To make peace with the warring winds who hold us in their sway

And to brush away the dead skin of a thousand years decay

Unto the Isle of Apples we shall return

Faces change in the land of evergreen

Steady now knight and you may peer

through the cracks in the earth to the otherworld

shown by the moon and the wheel of the year

Let us make much rhyme and merriment

Let us  rise anew the clans

Heal our battered hearts and tired minds

May we follow a Way again
