The Celestial Sisters

One from the back catalogue today. This is a celebration of the sun and moon, unlike other cultures, both feminine to the Celts, in contrast to the Roman and Greek depictions of male sun and female moon. Written 8th June 2005.


The Celestial Sisters

The sisters dancing in the sky
Sun and moon, so graceful fly
The moon follows sister bright
The sun, so golden in her sight
And if they come to talk in day
Watch and wonder at their play
If earth should mask the moon
Glowing ember, good fortune
If moon should hide the sun
Darkness shadows everyone
Moon by night, sun by day
Sisters dance in harmony
Such is ancient Celtic lore
Celestial sisters so adore.
