War

Arrhg the pain injury of war
I cannot bear any longer
suffering dying at the door
will it make us any stronger?

Ice the cold of unresponding lips
as you walk past in the cold noon
I say hello with a dip
and wish you would not leave so soon

I cannot eat artificial plastic notes or coin
even though some behave as if they could
I cannot use concrete to sow in
although developers think they should

I do not count the gifts, they I only treasure
given by lovers lift, me from penury. Last forever.
I do not test your grace or try to measure
my own inadequecies I bury, at my own leisure.

Loneliness

The sting the pain
the empty the rain
tears come I try to come to you
alone
alone with you tonight
the day the spring
you wear my ring
and I am yours
forever toujours
quickly toutsuit
catch that feeling
don't let it go
I will be here always another tomorrow

Une Unis One

A blade of grass, the mighty oak
a single man in a long brown cloak
When by his grave I tend the flowers
If I leave just one blade of grass unturned
I feel guilty of neglecting his offering

If the child of passion weeps
where do I go to keep myself sane
If the child is lost in neglect
What do I have that I can let
Help me child that I may be found

For the master knows all of his grok
He is the eye of the tempest and the rock
When do I come back to him again
Oh to be in his arms a'more
He saved me so many times

When one plant of grass is missing
is the whole field bare?
When one is a them and not an us
When one is a thing and not a being
Is a heart just to be used?

I serve the truth

I serve the truth
God do not let me lie
I smile at woman
but she is cold inside
Alone in the dining room
so cold in the night
A pain heavy within
and a strain in my eye
Wishing and watching
fishing and fussing

Then you give me bread and wine
and I feel better than fine
I feel so good
to be loved and understood

I know the journey is long
and as long as the faith is strong
I know the night comes to end
and there will be your light again
I know the father and son
and holy spirit are one
For here is everything complete and done

Don't frag me down

Don't frag me down
the sweat off my brow
the stress in my vows
don't pull me down

Don't argue or frown
for the worst comes out
be left in so much doubt
for moments are lost

can we make up the cost
of the strife
counting is not the value
or quality of the issue

What makes your arguments
worth so much to you
when will the crisis
in the seas and lands

affect you heart and soul
so much the toll
The days' work still to be undone
the damage has already been done.

These intangibles

These intangibles in the midst of the light
why must we go on in the darkness of night
For these give life and love and rightness
even for the sake of perceived righteousness
can we not carry on the unrighteous grudge

Do not drag the mighty dove through the mud
How can we go on when the feeling to stop is so strong
Why must we fight in the darkness with a glass knife?
Can't we all just get along? How long will this go on?

There are no half measures in giving

There are no half measures in giving
There are no measures of living
For the fortune is told
the readers are young yet old
Given enough time
you might change your mind
Take care of the living
for every live thing
has a soul which feels
Which senses what is real
Which makes reality what it is
Which informs and reveals
