    Does anyone recognize this stanza from a poem? Who is the poet?
    May the fire be your friend,
    And the sea rock you gently,
    May the moon light your way,
    Til the wind sets you free

    Cradle Song lyrics by Shriekback

    Sing a cradle-song now, as the light fades around us
    And you breathe like the ocean, lying small in my arms
    See it all in a moment - you so young and unclouded
    Shining bright as a lion - feel the motion of time
    As the world rolls away from the sun.
    I can feel your life burning - unlived moments within you
    Further than I can see...

    May the fire be your friend and the sea rock you gently,
    May the moon light your way - till the wind sets you free

    I remember your face as you cried for the first time
    The cold air of the world and the fierce light of day
    And the cruel separation in a world washed with tears;
    Numbed with pain to unfeeling - May you hold to your truth
    As you walk the dark night of unreason
    The stone walls which surround us - may your spirit fly round them
    Like the wind from the sea...

    May the fire be your friend and the sea rock you gently,
    May the moon light your way - till the wind sets you free

    May you never know hunger: may you love with a full heart -
    The light stay in your eyes...

    May the fire be your friend and the sea rock you gently,
    May the moon light your way - till the wind sets you free
    May the fire be your friend and the sea rock you gently,
    May the moon light your way - till the wind sets you free
