Little Sister Do You Remember

Do you remember 
When the moon
Danced with sun
On an early spring morning
When we use to rise
Like eagles in the sky
When we skipped
Like an otter in the sea
When butterflies
Multiplied in the fields
As we walked
Hand in hand to school
Little sister do you remember

Without Love I

With ecstasy I climbed 
With sorrow I roamed 
With perseverance I forged 
With loneliness I strode 
With fear I was conquered 
With courage I rose 
With care I walked 
Without love I refuse to go

Sweet Reprieve Rose

Oh the smell of the sweet reprieve rose
That was thrown on the battle field for my soul 
The inevitable mortal wound waits for me on yonder hill
As the dawn breaks on the time transcribed for me
Oh the smell of the sweet reprieve rose

Oh the smell of the sweet reprieve rose
When he was first enclosed  
 For three dark days and three lonely nights
Until he returned unto the light 
Oh the smell of the sweet reprieve rose

Oh the smell of the sweet reprieve rose
When we are first enclosed
Waiting for his trumpet to blow 
And for all of his people to be called home
Oh the smell of the sweet reprieve rose

A New Brotherhood

If I could bind 
Your ancient wounds 
I would 
Bring us to
A new brotherhood
Our last days of hope
Our season lies like smoke
Upon the wind and 
God exhales

Do You Understand My Love

Do you understand
My heart my love
The intoxication of your kiss
No love potion was ever made
Like this

Do you understand 
My heart my love
Loves arrow’s wounds
What arrow ever shot so true
Like this

Do you understand 
My heart my love
No words no song
Can capture a love
Like this

Step Daughter

First time I saw you sitting there like a nervous little angel ready to fly away 
First time I talked to you I encouraged you to stay 
First time I saw you smile, it made me smile too 
Now I look into your eyes, I think I know something about love too 


First time I held your little hand, seemed like I had a friend for life in you 
First time you told me about your mom ma I felt your love for her too 
First time you jumped on my back I felt the beginning of love for you 
Now I look into your eyes, I think I know something about love too 


First time I taught you something, you taught me something too 
First time I told you have a wonderful blessed morning, you told me to have one too 
First time you said good night to me, I said good night to you 
Now I look into your eyes, I think I know something about love too

Oh it’s been many a years and your still that little girl I knew 
You fell in love with him before I really knew, just like I fell in love with you 
When you went away to school I told you, you are a precious gift from God and you said so 
are you, I got them you are all grown and left me, miss my baby blues

When I Go Dreaming

Oh when I go dreaming 
Off to the River of Gods 
To Easter Island 
To the Palace of Minos 
To the Temple of Poseidon 
To the Acropolis 

Youth and Demon Death 
To the Gate of the Lion 
To the Gate of the Fish 
Off to the horizon 
Off to Mount Everest 

To the Sea of Tranquility 
To the soft sands 
To my lover’s arms 
With you I will go 
Until all is gone

Silhouettes Dancing In the Trees

Silhouettes dancing in the trees 
A closer look and what do I see 
Pixies dancing on the breeze 
Fairies surfing on falling leaves 
Gnomes having tea in evergreens 
Elves carrying their princess queen 
Leprechauns making shoes in trees 
Sprites bathing in dew filled leaves 
Childhood imaginations or adult dreams 
May dancing silhouettes fill your dreams

Passing Smiles

Our love was shared in passing smiles 
That echoed through the years 
And memories of what was not 
And what may never be 
Oh memories that whisper names 
And bring smiles to our hearts 
Our love is held in passing smiles 
I hope will never fade

Eternity To Endure

My voice reverberates 
From heavens throne to hells firm gate 
Courage hid love denied 
Something to do with damaged pride 
From my mouth to your ears 
What a long journey for my words 
Years to late and seasons gone 
Oh how my mind lingers on 

Like drugs to an addict or drink to a drunk 
To hells gate I have sunk 
And risen again to heavens height 
With false hopes that I might 
Speak to the fight of no fight at all 
To loose when I haven’t risen at all 
Oh how I mark the time that passes 
Not by moon or seasons passes 

But from marks of words that were never spoken 
From a dream without a hope 
Cut so deep to never to heal 
No scars to form or wounds to heal 
For I have run from lives true battle 
From stage fright I have lost the battle 
Open sores never to heal 
Loves true voice who did steal 

From dungeons hid so deep 
Who the dungeon did keep 
Keys to yonder cell well hid 
No heavenly lights to reveal 
Prayers prayed but not revealed 
Answers are always part of the deal 
Listen closely to words unspoken 
For from God’s throne he has spoken 

For of love’s salve he does dispense 
And it is always heaven sent 
Love that waits is love revealed 
Even when words are hid 
It is he that shines the light 
Where it shines through darkest night 
For his 
For his heavenly balm 


Is always dispensed 
With heavenly palm 
Who can understand heavenly time 
With hands that click so true 
When hands click for you 
Love potion with no cure 
But eternity to endure
