TO DEEPEST WARMTH:
Will the whispers ever cease?
Will my heart turn my head around?
Will time change my perspective?
Will my perspective change me?
From stormy seas,
To a sheltered bay.
From death back into life again.
From blind to having sight again.
From icy cold,
To the deepest warmth
The kind that comes from inside,
The kind that ignites the fire again.
As the days drop like flies,
Will I find my way?
Open my eyes up
And see the light
Of sweet firelight,
And feel the heat?

Never Forget

NEVER FORGET:
Rest your hands in mine.
They do not labor
When they are intertwined.
Your mind is trapped
In a fever dream,
Focus on my voice
And find me inside.
I will sit and I will wait with you,
Because I know that you can feel me.
I will speak into your ears,
Because I know that you can hear me.
How I love you,
How I'll miss you.
Father, brother, friend and hero.
I'll never forget you,
I'll never forget.

FEVER DREAM 1 - BLACK HOLE:
I turn around,
I see the starting line.
I'm spiralling out and away.
I've lost my chance to run.
Fire dwindles to a speck
Now I'm falling blind.
Other side of black holes,
Absence, nothing, no one.
Twisting, turning, yearning,
To be or not to be?
Upward movement failing,
Downward spiral flailing,
Endless whispers calling,
To go or not to go?
Fear comes to say hi,
To tell lies to paralyse.
Heat left so far behind,
Now I'm loosing mine.

Fever Dream 2 - Descent

FEVER DREAM 2 - DESCENT:
I descend into the deep,
Way down low into the cold.
Gaining lower and lower depths.
Once I stood up tall
But now I fall.
I see the light far above me,
The one that once shone inside me.
I continue my drop,
The currents taken hold
So still I fall.
Endless whispers surround,
Forming circles around.
I am ageing differently inside
Their circle of sound.
I am small, I am nothing here.
A microscopic speck in a massive hole.
I descend deeper and deeper still,
Nothing worthwhile down here
Have I found.
Other side of a black hole,
Absence, nothing and no one.
Spiralling out and away,
Lost.

FEVER DREAM 3 - LOST HERE:
Free me, free me!
When will you appear?
I'm lost here, lost here!
Neither here nor there.
Find me, find me!
You are nowhere near.
I'm lost here, lost here,
How are you not here?
Lost here, cold and alone here.
Other side of a black hole no control.
Free me, when will you free me?
Powerless against
The absence of light here.
I cannot wake! I cannot speak!
Lost in a dream trapped in my head.
Losing the fight, slipping away.
(Worlds collide, names are called, fears are realised, hopes denied)
Other side of black holes,
Absence, nothing, no one.
Twisting, turning, yearning,
To be or not to be?
Upward movement failing,
Downward spiral flailing,
Endless whispers calling,
To go or not to go?

WITHIN A DAY:
You sleep another day away.
I heard you were well yesterday.
Another chance lost,
There will not be many more.
I feel the coming of your time,
Every minute’s worth a year now.
I slept awhile and woke to find
Your eyes open wide.
And when I looked inside,
I saw your last goodbye arrive.
I do not tell a lie,
Within a day he will die!

Midnight

MIDNIGHT:
Time is running out
So its value has increased.
Every moment is precious now,
It has come down to the wire.
Don't go, don't go, don't go!
Twilight has fallen,
Midnight is soon to follow.
If ever there was a time to go
Above and beyond,
It would be now.
Don't go, don't go, don't go!
The river is running high,
It's never been so swift.
It's racing towards the cliff,
Cascading over the abyss.
It's midnight! Midnight's here,
It has come to take you away.

INWARD SPIRAL/HEADING HOME:
Heading home.
Heading home, it's over.
Feeling alone, feeling alone.
Heavy as stone.
Heavy as stone, suddenly older.
Sick to my bone, sick to my bone.
Feel it in my chest,
Feel it as waves pushing me sideways.
Smothering my will,
Smothers my will
And leaves me breathless.
Heading home.

Final Winter

FINAL WINTER:
How my heart yearns,
How it burns
For things that can never be.
Father Time has erased my steps,
Now no one will ever see.
As a ghost I have no voice,
I cannot say goodbye.
Final winter stole my breath,
Now no one will ever hear.
Drifting over my timeline,
I see it twist and turn.
If I had only gone straight ahead,
You would still be mine.
Set fire now to my shell,
For it is no longer where I dwell.
Mother Nature cast me out,
Now you must go on alone.
But I live on in your memory,
You see me everywhere.
In the little things that we shared,
Think of me and smile.
Into the light, shining bright,
Taking flight, feather light,
Losing sight of the earth below.
Into the glow I will go,
From hanging on to letting go.
See you on the other side.

URN SHADOW:
I sink below into shadow.
I try to find the glow.
I try, I try, I fail.
Empty, hollow, bone dry, fallow.
Worlds collide,
Names are called,
Fears are realised,
Hopes denied.
