This goes well with

THE RIVER

The River is flowing,
Flowing and growing,
The River is flowing,
Down to the sea.

Mother Earth carry me, your child I will always be.
Mother Earth carry me down to the sea.
Here endeth water while I get on with earth shawl:) No name as yet we shall see what suggests itself as the shawl unfurls.

Under the full moonlight we dance
Spirits dance we dance
Joining hands we dance
Joining souls rejoice
