Andreas Pirner and I have decided to honour with a song each of the twelve full moons of this year and this is the first one for January, which is known as the Wolf Moon.
The words and vocals are by me, and the music and cover art is courtesy of Andreas who you can find on Soundcloud as APi_ZZ.
Words
Winter’s night, stars cold bright,
Logs ablaze in hearths of stone.
Snug and warm, curtains closed,
Against the north wind that blows.
Across white fields, no sign of life
Except for the hoot of an owl.
Only the edelweiss blooms in the snow.
On the mountain, a grey wolf howls.
Lone Wolf Moon, sailing above
In skies sparkling with meteors,
Their silver rain, a gift of love
From the Sun in Sagittarius.
The Archer’s arrow’s ready to fly
Across the wheel of the zodiac
Into the Taurean bull’s eye
To augur the year’s coming trials.
Dreaming through these nights of snow,
Under the aegis of Ursa Major,
We ask the Wolf Moon to bestow
Its gifts of the wild lupine nature,
Of the sharp intuition of their kind,
Their warmth and loyalty to their kin,
Their tight-bonded packs and tribes,
And give us courage as we proceed,
Along roads less travelled in our lives.
