Those chords of life struck their beat
Narrating the chaos of defeat...

She caught the breath before it left
Those harsh sweet words without a sigh...

Oh fair times that fate bestow
Happy days without sorrow or woe...

Squandering past and love alike
The temptations fragile hand...

Every memory, every waking hour
I lie around chaotic and powerless...

Till the darkness comes and goes
In the midst of summers flow...

*For you*
Etching lines of scattered thought...

When the world outside my window
Is dark, uninviting and cold...

Out from the sheltered doorway
I took a step down our garden path...

*Just because*
Shadows cast in the warmth of summer...

Alone again, to the peace of the world
Entwined in a dance of souls...

Closing my eyes, the world swirls around me
Drifting in a sea of senses...
