I am Sionann in Ui Fhlaithbheartaig,

Namesake of a Goddess, powerful and true,
Christened for the river where emerald Eire draws its life.
Sometimes I am remembered of as Gala, the Half-Dane,
Whose name means "Lovely voice".
I come from across the sea to feast with the people of my Mother's line,
Grandmother's Grandmother's kin,
And the kin of my choosing.
Holly House familiar and Felagi friends, your word fame rings true.

Lauded Skald of Tir Righ,
Many are the songs I sing.
Strong and clear the tones of gentle supplication.
Surely the birds are silent and heaven weeps to hear.
Melodious the notes I play.
Stirring poems I write.
Deftly I pluck the heartstrings of joy and sorrow till all is spent.
Beauty trapped in paint and stone, forever frozen,
Unlocked by my hands.
Music, Art, the lifeblood surging.
They are marrow of my bones.

My frame looms large, if only to house the heart within.
Eyes changeable, flashing green, crystal blue, wintry grey.
See my soul in their myriad hues.
Gratefully I learn.
Passionately I create.
Quietly I serve.
Faithfully I love.
