When the wind stops blowing
And darkness fills the air
Who will carry the light
When your heart is broken
And your way is lost
Who will carry the light
***
When your anchor loses purchase
And your mooring is gone
Who will carry the light
***
When your father has passed
And your mother is estranged
Who will carry the light
***
When you drop to your knees
And you pray straight from your heart
Jesus will carry the light
A darker side of hollow
Whispers in your ear
“I can make you happy…
Come, no need to fear!”
A prickling on your neckline
As your stomach fills with butterflies
“Is this the way that I should go?
Or is it all just lies?”
That cry of desperation
Was answered in a beat
And now the time has come for you
To go
Or to retreat
Within this world of madness
Too many empty souls
Take to the streets and kill each other
And pretend it makes them whole
So, be careful with your questions
Have faith and tow the line
Build bridges, not deeper chasms
Beacause darkness has the time
The taste of a fine Rye on my tongue
Brings back the memories
That I will never have…
Regret me not
For our time draws quickly
With each dusk
The following dawn
Has no guarantee
Indeed, for us we have only today
Surrender finds its way
Always
Captured in this moment
In this time
In this life
In your smile
When the wind comes whispering
But my heart’s out of reach
Who am I
Can I deny
The lessons it could teach
Unwavering, its determination
To do what it must do
No obstacle is too great
Breathe in a breath or two
Step back and take a look again
In myself find belief
For tomorrows on the horizon
When my time comes to teach
Do as I say
Not as I do
How’d that work out
Tsk, tsk…
They’ll never notice
They’re too rich to care
I guess they did
Tsk, tsk…
Just a quick stop
Come on, have a peak
Too close to the edge
Tsk, tsk…
This too shall pass
Stay home and stay well
Why didn’t you listen
Tsk, tsk…
When the momentum shifts
You’ve no one to blame
Take stock in yourself
And try to refrain
From saying words
You’ll surely regret
The clock keeps on ticking
On this, you can bet
Kill them with kindness
Or just smile and nod
Keep your distance from meanness
Don’t be a fraud
For when this time passes
Again, as it will
You can look in the mirror
And smile at God’s will
Spinning, spinning, spinning
Day in and day out
Just when you think your work is finished
Something blows it out
For you, there is no respect
Most try to get away
But sometimes when you’re lucky
Some stick around and stay
To them you are so grateful
Though they too make a mess
But acids in your tummy
Help a spider to digest
Irresistible
She fills my life with beauty
No rose can compare
Kiss the blue moon before you go
Cast out to the stars in wonder
Aires and Taurus dance with delight
Where no hills roll with the thunder
Imagination, a universe full
In the inquisitive mind of a child
Heavenly bodies in Milky Way flight
Ride on astral comets, beguiled
Such is the life, possibilities flare
As bright as Earth’s only sun
Deep in the reach of a curious mind
Can we be the Celestial one
