Spinning The Sun

 

Height of the sun

So high, so high

Ground wavering and melting

In the heat haze

Call me to your soul

Deep love, deep light

Yet burning danger

Consuming fire

Nothing in part-measures

Aching, desperate

Passion so bright

Call me to your home

The heart of the desert

The source of the hot spring

The centre of the mountain

Ready to burst

Ash and fire

Over the land

Call me to your music

Dancing the round

Spinning the sun

Clattering bells that

Glisten and sparkle

As boots hit the ground

Over and over

Beating the drum

Beating the heart

The thrum of blood

Bursting through

Summer’s veins.
