"A Halo of Great Hight"



Pray to the invisible
One day devisable
No one will have to see
Everyone has to be
Put your foot in the door
Stay a while, silent now
The sun froze overnight
But green eyes see through the dark
Step inside, do not move
Step inside or step aside

In the wan tortured storm
Sleeps an unshattered form
And the voice of the wind
Asks me to enter it.
But I know my time's not yet come
come down, please float don't fall
When do your rays meet mine?
Locked in human bodies
There is the frozen fool 
In the still stolid pool
You said fade -and I fade
There will you find rest
And wake as angels not ghosts
And my way you shall light
A halo of great hight.

"The Man in the Window"



This is the day, and exact the hour,
There is no other, and none shall cower,
The doves descend to the thornless flower,
The man looks through the window with a smile

And dazed, I wonder how such a cover, 
Could heal the wound when none recover
And it's not long before I discover
The glass reflects his face in denial

The closeness that I ardent endeavor,
Evades me, a twisted tongue so clever,
This is the time, though the wait is forever
The man diverts his gaze for a while

"Disco Sun"

All life is foreshadow
We aimlessly run
Into the bright retro lights
Of the disco sun
And opine this as pure
The birthing of new life
And a bed of celebration 
To carry its wife

"The Hidden Way Home"

I shall never die
Forever I shall live
This life is but a lie
This world I can't forgive
And everything above
Fades with the things below
My Dear, O' my love
To your house I shall go.

Send me not from your door,
If outside I might stay
Replace the night of horror
With the love and light of day
That I may take and be filled
That I may give and be blessed
Feigned stains have killed
Shadows do not rest

I rise with golden sun
Disembodied, pure at last!
Void of all fears but one
It is enough to see the past
Shall I look upon you smiling?
Shall I touch with hands of light?
Our futures are beguiling
What is best is not what's right

But never do you see me
Not-even-in your seeing stone
I would obliterate to be
Seen as I have shown
I am the air around you
I am the mist within the gloom
I cannot find the way through
O' the hidden way home!

"Pawns Go First"

A sadness divine, may it be mine
Her daylight still shines, a touch of the moon
Reflect the sun and mesmerize eyes
Be careful, be true, be silent and soon

Pawns go first, their bellies will burst
Rivers will thirst like branches withered
I shout out very loud, but it's clear as day
All things rational stand in the way.

"Be Still Dear Soul"


Be still, dear soul, and writhe no more
Lie down by the waves of this moonlit shore
Sleep beautifully sound, unaltered, unbound 
And dream far from the fits of yore

Yes dream, and may your dreams be pure
May the swell of the ocean's back enrapture
Rest and be filled, be ageless, distilled
In the somnolent wishing of this tranquil tour

And if across the water does walk a form
Moving weightless through the waves in a storm
A touch of death is a touch of repose
Memorize this, as unexplained as it goes.

"What Outcast Soul"


What outcast soul in desperation beseeching
A windstorm of terror and fire lay reaching
The orb in the sky, a doleful inviting
But falls down again to tame its own madness
