Bardic Compositions by Tanaiste Manannan
Prayer
for the
Claiming and Hallowing
of
The Forest House
of
Cerddorion Nyfed
Empty your mind, be formless,
shapeless--like water.
Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup,
You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle,
You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Now water can *flow* or it can *crash*
Be water, my friend.
--Bruce Lee
Deity hear my prayers.
Teach us all to be more like water.
To be empty to style and restrictions-to have an open mind and heart.
To be formless and shapeless so that you may mold us to your will.
To have you inside us guiding us to be more like you.
Help us to flow like water-the essence of all things (deity-like).
Teach us to be like water and know when to flow and when to crash.
These things I come to you and ask you if it be your will let it be so.
Thank you for your blessings and protection of us all.
Yule, 2002
Winter silence surrounds-
Thoughts of ancestral mounds.
Cold air on my face.
Reminds me that Deity embraces.
Giving thanks to the past-
For the memories that will last.
Now onward to the future.
Old wounds now sutured.
Silence is sacred-Love is divine.
Thanking Deity for bringing me back aligned.
Once again Deity I behold. Remembering the ways of the old.
Prayer for Associate Member Lhiannon
January, 2003
May you find peace and strength.
Peace and strength that Deity surrounds you.
Surrounds you both with love and protection.
Love and protection from all negative things
All negative things will be lifted by Deity if only you trust and love.
Trust and love Deity and let Deity guide you.
Guide you to this world unharmed and full of love and ambition.
Ambition to live and live life to the fullest through Deity.
Through Deity all things are possible.
Warrior Heart
January, 2003
Warrior heart beats soft and slow,
Like the movement of the doe;
As the deer the warrior lives:
Ne'er taking more than God gives.
Truth beats in the warrior's heart,
And gives voice to bardic art;
As the deer call to their mates,
So the free cruadh creates!
Strength flows through the warrior's hands,
Strength that heals and understands.
As antlered stag in the glade,
Warrior's peace shines bright as blade.
Consistent the warrior's word
As the stag's defense of herd,
Or the course that rivers run;
The rise and set of the sun.
Honor in both word and deed
Is the warrior's one true rede:
Peace the profit of war's art
That sparks the beating warrior heart!
