Fly Away

Marrow of the hallow
Bone from the shadow
Sparrow to the meadow
Fly away fly away
Feather flight and fallin
Stormy seas a calling
Whispered night you’d stolen
Fly away fly away

Wings on the wind of a borrowed song
Take me to the temple wanting
Love and her lilting petals drawn
Ever in the dance a dawning
Night and her maiden vessels open
Arms to the red moon raining
Tales from the bone, garden of stone
Scripts in the flames remaining

Cast yer bones In the circle
Step to the left
Arms stretched
Toward constellations
Rain down through the memories
Weaving the threads
Her tapestry held
The shape of a prophecy

Choreography from ‘Fly Away’ danced with Starling Arrow

When this song popped through I was thrilled- so happy to incorporate my experiences with repetitive devotional dance and song circle play. ‘Fly Away’ is definitely a group piece, one that can be shared at many a magical occasion.

The steps are easy

‘Cast your BONES in the circle’
While standing in place- toss your bones with the right hand towards the center as if you’re thrones the runes from the bones of your past self, to learn all there is from what has come to pass.

‘Step to the left, arms stretched’
- self explanatory- take one step to the left and stretch arms out, palms up, on the word ‘stretch’

‘Towards constellations’
Raise arms upward, palms facing up
gather the heavenly lights of the sun, moon, stars and constellations

‘Rain down with the memories’
- Palms down, slowly draw the light to the center, a cleansing shower of luminosity

‘Weaving the threads’
- Spin your body all the way around 1x towards the left

‘Her prophecy held the shape of the prophecy’
- hold the hands of the people next to you and grape-step vibe to the left.

Enjoy learning this weaving dance with your crew at your sacred circles, song gatherings, blessing ways, rites of passage celebrations, moon circles, and at all the magical fires you tend with community. Excited to dance these steps with you some day in person
