Just Believe
...One has no voice,
The other has no eyes.
They walk together,
So there is no surprise.
One is a tall man,
The other small.
One has a vision,
And tells all.
You need only ask,
If you da...

The Mirror
...The mirror in the lake.
Is it there?
An illusion?
Touch it.
Is it still there?
Go deeper to the bottom.
Is it there?
Take it out if you can.
Tell me it's shape.
Is there a mistake?
Was it j...

The Wise Old Owl
...It is said they are wise,
Beyond belief,
If you listen closely,
They can ease your grief.
If I only knew,
The words he says,
Maybe, just maybe,
It would ease my head.
For she has left me,

Be the happiest that two could ever be,

All Dreams Shattered
...A gentle breeze blowing,
Coolness in the air,
But still a feeling of loss,
A feeling of despair.
All dreams shattered,
All dreams torn apart,
All dreams we had,
Never to part.
But she never l...

Ringo Kady and the Cowboy
...There were six in the cylinder,
Strapped to his side,
He stood tall,
And walked with pride.
His feathered friend, Hawk,
Upon his shoulder,
No, he didn't talk,
But was so much bolder.

Dream Dream Awaken
...I dream,
Where are you?
I love you?
But I don’t know you.
A dream?
There you are,
A dream?
How can this be?
The park so beautiful,
Children play,
A dream?
We touch,
We play,
A d...

The Spider of the Night
...The Spiders home
So small so thin,
Do you ever think
Where's she's never been?
She spins her home
Then just waits
Hoping for a meal
At her gate.
You'll never see
A tear she might shed
F...

The Question
...I follow the arrow,
Into the snow,
Where it will go,
I'm not to know.
The river so brown,
The tree so green,
Must be the Winter,
Or maybe the Spring.
I look to the sky,
The star I do see...

In a Tranquil absence of Soul.
Aspirations of the Heart Abound.
Incense pay Homage to Dreams of fragile Love,
Floating away on a Cloud.
Suck at the Breast of Sorrow,

As the dramatic illuminator
Of his own tristful destiny
As well as those of his kinfolk.
And of the two plays that treat
Of the tragic Tyrones
