Catching Freya
Catching Freya
MP3
Tune: "Scarborough Fair", traditional English tune
Try to bind her, and she´ll storm away,
a
free falcon circling the sky.
Invite her in, and she´ll return to you,
From her journey,
time and again.
Seek to close her in behind bars,
You´ll just find that you´ve caught yourself;
Without feeling, hard grows your heart;
sensousness flies in falcon garb.
Try to catch her - empty´s your hand,
Let her go, and she will consume you;
Fully embrace her, she'll open you up
and give you all the fullness of life.
Freya the free one, the strong one, the
wild,
Giving gifts with generous hand;
From this fullness love may prosper,
Like herself, so unbound and free.
