I use to draw pictures of tall skyscrapers...
to the sky, to the world, where I may never see...

Know the silence
When wispy hands caresses...

Some said life was a series of stepping stones
And so I walked my life on solid rocks...

Black clouds smother away hope and dreams tonight
Into the mirror behind I see my face in a pale...

Another war--another break in peace
Most thought Vietnam was bad enough...

Misty shadows crawl over waters
River by river, pouring like liquid...

Give me strength to Face to Truth
The face of Wrath shall come...

A sweep of peach on your cheeks
Summer blooms in your eyes deep...

Hold the dust--don't let it fall
Hold it close and dream away...

They chant love as though all other words cease
Holding it in their palms; glossed with sweat...

Blind; can't see, the light enclose on me
Closer and closer yet it comes not alone...

Wrapped with the petals
Dipped in gold musk...
