THE MIRROR’S GLASS
A life spent adrift
On seas with no end
A smothering mist cloaks my mind
Day after day
I have always believed
The truth I would finally find
I’ve been with the crowds
SONG LYRICS - WHERE DO YOU GO
WHERE DO YOU GO
A silent end
A fading friend
An ever…
An ever mounting fear
A tear stained eye
A question why
Another…
Another pointless year
A solemn stare
A mirror’s glare
MASTERPIECE
God made the Earth
The scriptures tell
As day by day
And just as well
For although he
Might well have made
All his creations
In a day
A purpose there
Most surely was
In taking time
GOODBYE
With tear filled eyes I’m left behind
A-walk in trance, still mystified
The rays of setting sun pierce through
As angel wings which carry you
…
Goodbye my hearts eternal love
WISDOM
Unto what shall our era be likened?
Are we like unto people of old?
Are we so far removed from the ancients of days,
We gain not from their story now told?
WINGS OF FIRE
WINGS OF FIRE
Into the darkened corners of desire
Long left standing upon
The un-swept floors of secret yearning
Have I strived to press your memory away
Which over time of endless days
BILLY & BENNY
BILLY & BENNY
You wake up in the morning
Get something for the pot
No longer can you tell
Just what is real and what is not
Peering through the blind
You’re taken by the morning rays
WHERE DO YOU GO
A silent end
A fading friend
An ever mounting fear
A tear stained eye
A question why
Another pointless year
A solemn stare
A mirror’s glare
And nothing’s left inside
UNTO WHAT END
Is there purpose left in going on
Is there something yet to find
Uncounted days of rise and fall
Have left me far behind
What is the point in trying to feel
What they tell me I should feel
BY THEIR FRUITS
I cannot help but wonder as I wander through this life
And try to find a purpose in this world of toil and strife
Why don’t I have a Moses or a Noah as my guide
A PRAYER UNANSWERED
Waking I find
Another chill encrusted day
Awaits me
Where I shall walk alone in step of time
To the blighted rhythm
Of what must be
And the looming shadows
Of what might have been
HOW LONG
How long can rolling waters stay
Impure in their decree
How long can all the world behold
The many signs they see
And not consider what is meant
And come to understand
MANSIONS
Two sons of God who equal were
Stood on their lots of ground
On Heaven’s splendid landscape waiting
Their turn to go down
Both men had sketched a million times
MOTHER
I can’t give up, I can’t give in
I wonder if I’m ever gonna fly again
Though I’ve tried and tried, it still went wrong
Mother do you think they’ll drop…
The bomb
WINTER
The morning air
To which I have awoken
Whispers softly upon me
The subtle signs of change
For the aroma of distant fire
Has joined the newly fallen frost
To greet me in the dim of dawn
