The Promise of Death

I promise you
You will die

so we walk slowly
everything we do is vain
we are just passing time
and we worry about the next day
Why?

I promise you
You will die

Love is the only answer....

There Was This Thing

there was this thing
kind of lost
today my emotions so vague
Is this ok?

I can't cry
but I can run
I can't argue
but I can hide
I can't debate
but I can stare
into everything
city lights
window - scapes
looking at me
as I look at them
walk around in their flat
they will never know
how I feel.

there was this think
believing
you know faith?
seem to toss me
back into the deep
again and again
If He is
really a loving God
then I would
really feel safe.

The Owl Speaks

The journey, the journey
look ahead
see the battle?
guns exploding,
smoke in the air
captains waiving their flags
canons pushed back
soldiers screaming
as they fall to the ground.

seems like the world
will turn one more time

It doesn't matter
you know, the battles ahead
as long as we live our lives today.

Be merry and taste joy
the remnant clouds will pass.
