Image Story :

Incantation:

the songing

Their cries echo full of portent
A proclamation

A prophetic sign
A marvel

An act so extraordinary
A great choir of frogs songing the signs of spring
all over Dawnland

_______________________

These spirit beings
Embedded in this interconnected earthland

Ancestral progenitors
Communing in nature

Songing Dawnland
For all the beings in nature

Shimmering across time
Transmitting their super-natural intelligence

_______________________

This land of ancient beings
Songing its sacred rite

Calling out our origins
Across parallel worlds

Joining what is forgotten
The connective living soul of nature

dedication:

Ancient Songlands is dedicated to the powerful and beautiful nature of South Eastern Quebec and Ontario and its First Nations people - past, present and future and in particular, the Abenaki people who call this place 'Dawnland'. - Allan Renshaw
