A very happy birthday to
raventhourne!
In honor of that happy event, I post the words to the song I wrote for her laurelling:
Song for Ianuk
Raven stitch the threads with thorn
Spin the glass and carve the horn
Southern gem all Northern born.
Ianuk honored be
Verdant artistry
Raven teach the fire's way
Bronze and bone and earth her clay
Shaping stone to speak this day
Raven paint the sky so bold
Pen & parchment, ink and gold
'Neath her hand doth grace unfold
Raven teach by word and deed
White and black and red the glede
Bright grows wisdom from that seed
Ianuk honored be
Laurel made is she
