On Manannan’s Doorstep

A simple working song to lighten your day.

Weave the day together
Unfurl it in the dawn
Let nothing hope to sever
Jus raise it in a song.

When life should come with peril
Answer it with joy.
When waves grow fierce and feral
A sharper song employ.

Reach to find the dawning
At the threshold of the sea
Cup the day aborning
And set the future free.

Do not fear the sunset
Lean into the day
Leave no trouble unmet
As we sail upon our way.
