Heart Of The Matter…

…for whichever heart might matter.

The cranes were restless tonight, cawing, sparing, and spreading their wings while wading through the water altogether in the same direction.

“I keep telling you until I’m red in the face to stop acting like a Birdbrain!” “Uh! Aren’t we all like Red in the Face?”

Wolf Is In The Winter Moon

Wolf Moon on the rise again

Lyrics and Music by Timothy Price. Vocals by Teagan Riordain Geneviene.

Another year has passed, and the Wolf Moon is on the rise again as the new year begins. I wrote and recorded Wolf Is In The Winter Moon (above) to celebrate the 2024 Wolf Moon. To spare you my bloody awful voice, Teagan Riordain Geneviene @ Teagan’s Books gracious sang, lending her beautiful, smokey and slightly haunting voice to the song. Thank you so much, Teagan. I really appreciate your hard work on recording the vocals. Teagan’s voice is perfect for the song. She had the idea to add the howls underneath the chorus — a brilliant addition. You can find the lyrics at the end of the post.

We say two pTerodactyls flying over the Rio Grande tonight. This one turned around and flew close. I assume he wanted to be included in the celebration of the Wolf Moon.

Wolf Is In The Winter Moon
By Timothy Price

[Verse]
World of demons manifold and so robust
They are possessed and driven by an insatiable lust
For blood and power, their egos must be fed
Innocent souls of the quick and of the dead
Wolf’s in the Winter Moon that’s on the rise again
Sheds light on the darkness of a cold and cruel world

[Bridge]
Wolf and Moon together work in perfect harmony
Wolf and Moon together work to set our spirits free

[Chorus]
Wolves howl with praises and glory
Wolves howl with praises and glory
Wolves howl with praises and glory of the Winter Moon

Wolves howl with praises and glory
Wolves howl with praises and glory
Wolves howl with praises to bring an end to winter’s gloom

[Verse]
Wolf is in the Winter Moon that’s on the rise again
Shines its light on darkness as the year begins

[Bridge]
Wolf and Moon together work in perfect harmony
Wolf and Moon together work to set our spirits free

[Chorus]
Wolves howl with praises and glory
Wolves howl with praises and glory
Wolves howl with praises and glory of the Winter Moon

Wolves howl with praises and glory
Wolves howl with praises and glory
Wolves howl with praises to bring an end to winter’s gloom

[Outro]
Wolves howl with praises and glory of the Winter Moon
Wolves howl with praises to bring an end to winter’s gloom

Cranes In The Rain

Venus @ Dawn

Walked out in the rain to see the cranes
In the Tangle Heart Tree sat the pTer
Near the pTer, Daddy Owl had a few words to share
Top of the day to ya! Wile E Coyote seemed to say while sitting on the levee
Eyes turned to the cry of a crane catching up with its cronies
Rio Grande reflected clouds and cranes in the rain
