about

commissioned for Simric's brother Kielan's wedding to Kate Mandeville in 2009, a meditation on the nature of love relationships

lyrics

THE BLACKSMITH’S DANCE

Stepping beyond our well-carved niches
The ever-shrouded clockwork spiral urges us
To meet

Brow-beaten beneath the sun’s brooding
There brews a catlike unfurling
Towards each other

And an effervescent ferment
Overlays the bones of two who once were lame at heart
And we call it love
But in truth it is a blacksmith’s dance

For this crown (inlaid with mother-of-us-all) must daily melt
And as we pound our lovers’ soot
We’ll strike wisdom

Cracking open each mined petal with squirrel-soft touch
Leaves us breathless, laughing, and sometimes spinning
A jewelled journey awaits the brave

Moments may come when we turn away
To face our well-carved hibernation zones
But we’ll find we have outgrown them
Together

So let us blink beneath the sun’s blessing
Feeling again - within our smiling skins, mutually moulded -
The joy upon us of the world’s kiss.
