The Lost Words Blessing

Enter the wild with care, my love
 And speak the things you see
 Let new names take and root and thrive and grow
 And even as you travel far from heather, crag and river
 May you like the little fisher set the stream alight with glitter
 May you enter now as otter without falter into water
 Look to the sky with care, my love
 And speak the things you see
 Let new names take and root and thrive and grow
 And even as you journey on past dying stars exploding
 Like the gilded one in flight, leave your little gifts of light
 And in the dead of night, my darling
 Find the gleaming eye of starling
 Like the little aviator, sing your heart to all dark matter
 ♪
 Walk through the world with care, my love
 And sing the things you see
 Let new names take and root and thrive and grow
 And even as you stumble through machair sands eroding
 Let the fern unfurl your grieving, let the heron still your breathing
 Let the selkies swim you deeper
 Oh, my little silver seeker
 Even as the hour grows bleaker, be the singer and the speaker
 And in city and in forest, let the larks become your chorus
 And when every hope is gone
 Let the raven call you home
