Grail Nest

Inside a hollow yew tree,
Curled within green nest of flames,
A dragon sleeps...

Oh seeker of ancient things,
Blow your pan-pipes
And watch the dragon stir...

With flare of emerald light,
Spiral embrace of life
Ascends from nest to crown...

Oh lover of ancient things,
Reach inside womb of yew
And lift high the radiant cup...

Contained within this Grail
Are waters to fill the seven seas
Of earth and every being...

Oh master of ancient things,
Flood the chasm of primal birth
With this richness of Immortality and Joy!
