redheartSo about... goodness, two months ago? Bast got on my case that while I have written songs for Her, I've never written one that explicitly focuses on *my* relationship with Her. My Set songs are all deeply personal, as are my songs for Hethert-Nut and Heqat. Heru-wer's song is less so, but I've never gotten the sense that He wanted that sort of closeness with me. Perhaps in time.
Anywho, here's what I'm working with so far, debating if it's long enough or if I should add to it, and then hoping to feel out a melody soon.
---
The feline flicker just behind my eye
The deepest shade in a sun touched sky
The velvet touch of new life grown green
This can but begin to describe Her.
The slow sung ballad with a shout paced fast
The voices that rise calling out for Bast
The living rhythm carries what we mean
Though no music bold can hold Her fire
Chorus:
She is all the questions that decide my path
As I seek the answers that defy me
In the midst of mystery still I hear Her laugh
for She knows the search is what defines me
The strongest shield that protects the soul
The blade we wield to defend our goals
The warrior made from a fire within
This is but a shade of Ra's great fighter
The mother's love that keeps our fears at bay
The fiercest heart that claims isfet for prey
She defends Her children, all of Netjer's kin
And for this Her power burns all the brighter
Chorus
Matron, teacher, guardian, friend
Lady vast beyond measure
Though titles honor they cannot extend
to encompass all of the goddess I treasure
Chorus
Anywho, here's what I'm working with so far, debating if it's long enough or if I should add to it, and then hoping to feel out a melody soon.
