The vast copper sky
Stony silence of the night
Shower astral light.

Waves bring messages,
Mankind waits along the beach,
Those of peace still drown.

Those of peace still drown.
an early spring rain
drops gold onto sleeping dogs
women wake and cry
drops gold onto sleeping dogs
women wake and cry
The sun and wind flash
neon fish upon the pond ?
cold swim, bright shining.

cottage by the sea
the rise and fall of your chest
with each crashing wave
the rise and fall of your chest
with each crashing wave
These birdsongs- are they
mechanized or is this real?
The dead trees still loom...
mechanized or is this real?
The dead trees still loom...
Now the leaves return
So the high wind sings once more
Six months the frost waits
So the high wind sings once more
Six months the frost waits

for the happy child

this spring the plum tree's budding
promises new growth

storm-streaked evening
clouds forming in a gray sky
thunder playing drums
clouds forming in a gray sky
thunder playing drums
Lone gull on a sea
dons the sun and moon for wings
and soars forever

Life's gotten so dull,
just want to run, breathe real air,
in the nature's breeze

A cold day in March
when I though spring had arrived
snow and cold came back
when I though spring had arrived
snow and cold came back
Red, white, yellow, pink
The rose garden's in full bloom
Fragrance all around

winter's drought grass has revealed
tiny white flowers

the warmth of blankets
A flake falls softly
Blankets purify the earth
Drifts with no return

in cold, snow bathed streets
gypsies lose their virgin souls
in cold, snow bathed streets

where the lonely cry rings out
and the sun rises
where the lonely cry rings out
and the sun rises

water full of moonlight sang
between dreaming leaves
water full of moonlight sang
between dreaming leaves
Birds sing lullaby
As snow falls gently on tree
Moonshadows appear
As snow falls gently on tree
Moonshadows appear
snow owl, talons low,
white wings wide, all intention
on need, never want
white wings wide, all intention
on need, never want

a bouquet of red roses
one lonely tulip
a bouquet of red roses
one lonely tulip
Sunlight and spring rain
Fertilize the ground below...
Green is their offspring

Green is their offspring
Birds flutter their wings
Loose soft feathers paraglide...
The cat goes hungry
Loose soft feathers paraglide...
The cat goes hungry
a chill winter wind
the broken shutter voicing
a strong objection
the broken shutter voicing
a strong objection
Mountains of white clouds
painted by shadow and sun
Grand, but light as air
painted by shadow and sun
Grand, but light as air
Demons wailing loud
while riding the dark blown cloud
...a storm is brewing
while riding the dark blown cloud
...a storm is brewing
