I see her as I cross the bridge homeward Her coal-black fur a void against the stars She stands and stretches forward Meeting my outstretched hand With her whiskered face A purr of appreciation greets me Hello, sweet girl It’s a bit cold to be waiting here She gives me a look, as if to…
On the cool dark of an autumn night Little girl sleeps in her cosy bed Little girl dreams of red and gold leaves Rustling and whirling around her head Autumn wind catches girl and leaves Whisks them away on up to the sky Little girl plays among bright jewel stars Light of the moon gives…
Palm leaves now withered, trodden in the dust Cries of joy changed to howls of fury Fury to suffocating silence The sky turns black The earth shakes The curtain tears And in that moment It is finished And we are forgiven
