From tiny embers

And delicate springing buds

Big ideas grow

From the misty banks

Of this long silent river 

Hope springs eternal

If life’s a journey

This is just a long pit stop

Adventures await 

Let’s point the headlamps

To that distant mountain range

And drive to the top

Sands levelled by waves

The same patterns ever here

For thousands of years 

Whether by rivers

Or ‘cross the sea, I care not

If I am with you 

Beyond this valley

My feet following my heart

Toward new mountains 

Fireflies spark and fuse

While a meteorite falls 

From broken harp strings

Outside our brick caves

In the cold dark winter nights

A whole world survives 

Where do you call home? 

Is it a place where you sleep? 

Or is it people? 

In golden firelight 

Shadows dance like memories 

Fading into dreams 

We are together 

Anywhere in the whole world 

If there be data 

Above the highway

I hung my heart in the tree 

So come and find me 

Behind closed eyelids 

We stumble through the murkwood

Where fears and dreams hide

Above still waters 

Thick vapor slowly stirring 

These forgotten ghosts 

Silver wisps of mist

Shimmer on the lake surface 

The silent winter 

From my gloomy perch

Watching the lowering skies

This lonely city

This little giggle 

Leaking from soft balloon cheeks

Portrays your mother 

In the candlelight

Your smile shining like the moon 

Full and round and bright 

Wake, see the sunrise 

Another dream is over 

Get the fire lit 

Trees wave their fingers 

To the cerulean skies

Tinged with teal clouds 

Misty morning air

Layering the hillside view

Through my bleary eyes 

As the fire dies

And the frost starts creeping in

Hunker down deeper 

The long dark tunnels 

Slowly filling up with gas

While canaries fall
