Death and the New Life

The Dream

We touch our skin in shades of gold
the light of flames warms us
our eyes draw fire from the horizon
and reflect to us a mirror world
of no possessions but only what is given
a chant, a song relieved of burden
paradise lies before us
a lush array of colours
teeming with the gift of life
the voices of our hearts whisper soft
the dream of dreams to which we surrender
forever echoes beneath our skin
we sleep connected
but live alone

The Light

Tell me tales of past lives
unveil to me what was lost
where paradise ended and this began
tell me tales of divine harmony,
when nature light as our universe
gifted us with grace
to lift ourselves from darkness
and illuminate our hearts
Tell me of the soft whisper
that turned into a breeze
and ended in a storm
tell me of the wind
that dimmed our light
and gave us a darkness
foreboding the blight


The Life

Guide me forth
world forgotten in whispers
bring news of death and the new life
for them I suffer
for them I am alive
for them I live this life
guide me forth
forgotten word
I told the truth
now let me lie
dare I dream
of paradise

Ending Begun

When it has begun
I falter, then I run
oh what have I done
the idiot I spun

A hole for webs
trapped in beds
we've lost our heads
in spider's cracks

With hell's best feat
lying beneath our feet
in the blazing heat
on this life we cheat







The Apparition


He faltered in life
no home for his heart
so he left his wife
and seven children to part

A last apparition
to show he still cares
a profound premonition
of climbing the final stairs

A suitcase in hand
a white suit he wore
a goodbye in the end
now he's settled the score
