<< OPEN THE CIRCLES
Amr ibn Majid al-Bakri al-Amra (Mike C. Baker)
[TTTO "Circles" / "Windmills", loosely interpreted]
In the shadows of the evening we retire to our campsites
We share in the even-feast and recall the long day
Be aware in the darkness around are eyes shining ever-bright
They will see what you do as they move near, then away
(chorus)
There are circles we weave as we move through the twilight
There are circles we share to share tales of the brave
And these are the circles to hold in memory bright
Where the past is remembered to chain Darkness in a cave.
A young man, or woman, standing just o'er the threshold
Afraid to come in, with more fear to stay out
Will you bid them welcome, show them what this all means to you
Or will your's be an UN-welcome, some "Go away" shout?
(chorus)
Remember the passings and each of our passages
Raise the bright banners in the vault of each mind
We are the past, true, but must teach for the future
The banners are brightest that are aired time to time
(chorus)
Open your hearts, talespinners, stout poets and singers
Open your minds and let the whole Known World know
Open your circles and bring the bright-eyes within them
For a circle once opened can do nothing but grow!
