-Distance
It’s that again
Can’t you feel it?
It’s out there in the distance
The horizon chases it
The heart grasps it
A grasp unsettling of its premise
And so daunt and young
It’s that again
And it rings
And rings

-And Why?
Always turning and always turning
But no real place to go
To live
Or live
Just worries and no suiting
Will thou come in?
Your feet always fly from my veil
Only the heel stays for a moment’s time
I almost forgot your face for those moments…

-______ is ______
Nothing’s out there
Yet nothing’s here
Yet nothing is something
By chance
Music toward ones ear
Perhaps by unknown ways
Or ways I have not found
To be nothing is something
Yet you turn it around
Can one find something in nothing?
Yet nothing
Gets something
And that nothing?
Gets something


あい

Something that is just out there
Waiting for my grasp
To grasp it
It asks me to
For so long it seems I have looked for you
Looking and searching
And breaking and tearing
Out in the mist, out in the distance you have gone
A part of me broken yet a part of me full
A part of me weak yet part yield strength of the bull
And strong I stand yet weak shall I bend
But you are in my grasp
You- in my grasp
So long you have been away
But so close you have come to me now…

-Tears of Rain
Not long ago
There was a kingdom come
With an angel’s grove
And shared much love
So rich and so great
Was our kingdom be
So tall and proud
Such many glee
So much it had
But too much it took
It took our love
And it took our luck
What is ours is theirs
And ours is none
So they told
At kingdom come
And so great was love
It could not hold
It cried of tears
Tears untold
For it did not rain
For the tears would behold
From the rain so long ago
In that kingdom of an angel’s grove
