Let the Music In

Let the music play, just let go And you will see it Marvellous shapes, indescribable colours Tints and hues constructing a world beyond imagining You will feel it Textures soft like silk, hard as diamond Rough of solid granite, smooth as translucent glass You will taste it Savor its sweetness, relish the tang Yes, let…

The Breath of God

Night is long, dark and endless Why has light gone from the world? Where is the dawn? We try in our way to shine Stand up and give light to our own small worlds It’s hard to keep shining We can be extinguished so easily And darkness soon returns We need Heaven’s light We need…

Smiling Death

Contemplate the end, my friend Doctors tell you one thing And next day, it’s something else There’s no one here to trust It’s time to sing, dear one To serenade the Death Angel Not to stop what must be But in acceptance of inevitability Don’t recoil from your vulnerability All this lives must die Smiling…

Dance While the World Burns

Galloping horses drag an open carriage Full of bright balloons eager to escape their tethers Streamers float behind, struggling to keep up No one is driving, no one in control This party is going its own way Heedless of who is trampled under foot Careening towards the edge of a cliff Pop the champagne and…
