Within me swirls the ravage of nature The only beauty we can’t repress Tempestuous, wild, passionate Restless I feel better in Truth

In my dreams you appear You hold my hand I love you in my dream I think you’re with me And you seem to want to be But there’s a crowd and I try to Escape but I won’t let go of your hand Yet you’ve left They say I’m not the same Still you’re always the one I turn to Until I wake Until the nightmare ends Until the nightmare begins

Pockets full of dreams I carry silently Their voices Louder Than mine could ever be
Sin of Despondency Sin of Omission False Breath of relief When at first You destroy The dream
Would a poem without words be a poem Would a song without lyrics be a song Would a sheet of music without notes be music Would a father without his children be a father
You say no You ceased to be when she took them away Away from their laughter and their fears From their joy and their sorrow
For you a distant memory Except for the sorrow You won't forget
Will they know that they were in your thoughts Everyday Then pushed away So that you could get up
Will they understand That you could no longer be a father Without them Will they know how deeply you yearned For their touch Will they know that they are your poetry
I, the next love Am a stranger to them And to their father.

You Free me From a restlessness that has no bound The one that hounds You free me From this incessant desire That can't keep me still Yet grounds me against my will
For precious moments Your splendour is all I need

From the mountains
I've yearned to hear
Echoes from my soul
Through yesteryears
Whispers of the Eternal promise
But I can only stay
A step or two

I keep the window open
Wishing that a strong wind
Will force me to shout out loud
Words I no longer care to share
Or long enough to whisper
What I left for the breeze to carry away
That the longer I speak
The less I breathe
I don’t want to talk anymore.

If I could Draw I would draw the outline of the sun riveting in the sea And the strength of stones carved in eternity I would draw the gasp before you laugh And the glint in your eyes I would draw the kindness I see everywhere And the comfort extended For our mistakes I would draw the incredible gentleness Of a grandfather’s smile And the warmth of a genuine touch I would draw the treasures I see everyday Living in the trees, the rivers, in the gardens So lovingly tendered I would draw the funny story you just shared And the unassuming passion for little things I would draw the simplicity of a hearty handshake And the caring among friends I would draw a tender song And all the lyrics of hope I would draw the gratefulness I feel For nature’s balm I would draw our restless spirit at peace.
