A dark man, in a dark land, with a dark hand; delivering darkness.

In a dark land, a dark hand; delivering darkness.

From a dark hand; darkness.

As dark as night, darker still; as dark as death.
The devil walks.

And from darkness; light.

20 tiny, twinkling stars of brilliant, beautiful light; rising.
20 tiny twinkling stars of innocence and pure joy; smiling.
20 tiny twinkling stars, in a dark night; beautiful, and shining.

20 tiny, twinkling stars, I see, through my tears, from a world, weeping.

20 tiny, twinkling stars, I see, in our hearts eternal, keeping.

20 tiny, twinkling stars, I see,
Beautiful and forever; shining.

20 twinkling stars, shining.

No One But You

A hand above the water. An angel reaching for the sky. Is it raining in heaven. Do you want us to cry. And everywhere the broken hearted. On every lonely avenue. No one could reach them.

The Day The WORLD SHOOK.

Standing still, so mighty you tower, the others look up at your worldly power. People from everywhere had admired your class, not knowing you were made of glass.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday, Honey, A pity it isn't sunny. I brought you these flowers, Watered by summer showers. I wish you could be with me, We'd sit under our special tree.

RIP Grandad

Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain.

Nobody stops, They pretend they don't stare, When they see you, old man, just sitting there. On that brown painted bench in that popular park, Sometimes until way after dark.
