tree-stand where time stands still
Always pies on the window sill
No one to say
That you can’t just play
Till your time as a child slips away
Caravan
Life is change
Isn’t it strange
Only stays the same when it’s dead
Time is short
Or so we’re all taught
But somehow keeps moving ahead
Life is death
Beyond the last breath
Won’t know till the hammer drops
Time is long
When you got it wrong
But somehow it never stops
Time waits for no man
But is glad to give one a ride
On board a caravan
That is bound for the other side
Life is grand
According to plan
That’s tirelessly running it’s course
Time will cease
When you are released
Becoming one with the universe
Autumnal
I am the autumn leaves falling
I tumble
Roll
Drop to the ground
I am the harsh wind blowing
I gather
Blast
Knock houses down

Life’s cycle is not over
It’s just complete
Before the color’s faded
It’s at your feet
Time’s message not comprehended
Merely received
Before the clock stops ticking
We take our leave
Give and Take
I stepped into the night
Never knowing wrong from right
Sometimes you gotta live
Sometimes you gotta die
Sometimes you know the answers
Sometimes you wonder why
Sometimes you gotta leave
Sometimes you gotta stay
Sometimes you leave ’em wonderin’
Sometimes give it away
I leapt into the fray
Not knowing if I could stay
I see you
Lookin’ at me
Lookin’ at you
Seein’ me
I see you
Lookin’ at me
Lookin’ at you
Seein’ me
I came back from beyond
Never knowing where I’d gone
Sometimes you gotta give
Sometimes you gotta take
Sometimes get it precisely
Sometimes make a mistake
Sometimes you gotta rise
Sometimes you gotta fall
Sometimes get what you wanted
Sometimes nothing at all
I stepped into the light
Starting to see wrong from right
Anger
Driven on by hatred, fear and loathing
Escalating onward to the
