Life is short, a fleeting breeze you cannot hold in your hands for long
Life is short, a fleeting breeze you cannot hold in your hands for long,
and the world is full of questions that remain suspended in the air, unanswered.
I want to explore as much as possible, to learn about cultures that clothe the heart,
to speak new languages that open doors to unknown universes,
to try skills that ignite

Illusion
????????????????
At the early dawn,
when eyes slip away from the fraying night.
I feasted upon a dime of hours lost.
The wasteful minutes,
the misheeded seconds,
life demands here.
At the moment,
I feel like running back to the past
like a wind,
To rewind the hand of time.
Clutching it down,
tight in the grasp of my hand.
and never let it slips

Witch With a Hold In Her Nose
There was an old Witch with a beauty-mole
On her nose that looked like an ugly troll.
Spook, her hungry cat,
Like a bobcat sat,
Tail wagged, lost self-control and left a hole.

Such Dreams, Hold In Place My Grieving Heart

A gentle song in your voice, only I could hear
loving you my choice, losing my greatest fear
Grabbing that light coming from your soft eyes
was touching a rainbow in clear blue skies!
Your beauty, stream growing splashing flowers
my heart beating for our time, midnight hours
Your glowing soul, baby steps

We Hold In Our Hands
we hold in our hands the narrative
we artists and social scientists
21st century armaggedon screaming
dysfunctional children of history
living by purely subconscious, instinctual visceral pulsing
product of a campaign of vassals dedicated to erasing history
here we are.
so what do we do, we artists and social scientists?
we scream
we cry
we bleed
but also, and very important
we analyze
we do all this
and

Will Your Anchor Hold In the Storms of Life
Sad mourners packed the church today.
Poor Davie had passed away.
A Christian and a family man.
His life never went astray.
As a boy he joined the Boys Brigade.
Twas the makings of this lad.
Still youthful nearing 70.
Which makes his passing sad.
My dad knew Davie very well.
He worked with him for years.
Talked motor cars and caravans.
Great memories bathed in

I hold in my hands the candle of light to guide the people through the night .
I hold in my hands the candle of peace to guide the people as they sleep.
I hold in my hands the flag of freedom to show this great nation that their is love
and peace in this kingdom.
