Ripples of Time by Nick Prater

(Wales 1980s)

Written by Nick in the Tipi in the early ‘80s during a period of extended creativity. Living so close to the earth with our senses open to the heavens as we were, profound spiritual truths were being learned - Trish Prater

The ripples of time unfold
The wondrous crown I hold
In the secrets of my heart
The ripples turn to gold
The ripples turn to gold

Bright lady of the flowers
Your weaving brings music to the hours
All of creation is held in your hand
Like patterns in the sand
Like patterns in the sand

The light grows brighter and fades away
Sunshine turns to rain
Everything changes and all things must die
And all things must live again
Yes all things must live again

Bright lady of the flowers
Your weaving brings music to the hours
All of creation is held in your hand
Like patterns in the sand

Like patterns in the sand
The light grows brighter and fades away
Sunshine turns to rain
Everything changes and all things must die
And all things must live again
Yes all things must live again

All things must live again
