Daughter from SUN WEDDING by Team Bright

Heal a secret divide, with bloodroot and wolf hide.
Curls of fiddlehead fern, fistfuls of our black earth
Place these herbs by your bed, sing a song over your head/the whole world sleeps along with you daughter, climbing rose with no bloom/every morning I’ll bring you water, and sweep up your room with sedge and broom

Coat of arms, Occitan. Steward of a fruitful land. Tatted lace fleur-de-lis, see my face in your dreams. I don’t know how to teach you, daughter, everything you’ll need, for now listen to rainwater, in its fall you may hope to recall Mother’s Song.

When a star falls in flames, over summer gold plains, we’re the ones the wind wedded, northern lights, bison-headed,
keep safe our crystal caverns, hearth stones glow like lanterns
we come as daughters seven, we hold the colors of heaven in our song, in our song

White magnificent horse, southern winds brushed you north. I’m in stars, I’m in bonds, chained ‘til you came along. They gave me up to appease, hungers of darkened seas
I don’t know how to thank you brother, but I feel like I know you somehow, tell me don’t we know each other,
and otherwise how do we know the same song?

saplings spread out your leaves, darlings grow into trees
fill your branches with starlings, let the sunfire in you sing
seed your light into landscape, seed your light into landscape

Sisters of the true sight, I went out late last night, far beyond the stone well, following voices and bells,
in the forests of oaks and sage, I saw what will come in our coming age
I don’t know how to put it best, we have waited so long, I saw the world cured of its heartsickness, and our children growing up knowing our song. Mother’s song!
