There you were shining
but it was dark...

While I sit
While I think...

Tired soul lays asleep
restless eyes begin to weep...

A red rose
took upon my sight...

How can an artist see what he draws
seeing feeling though the colors, of marble...

Thou hast not seen
the worst of dreams...

People, my people!
Will your wars ever end...

It would be strange for me to ask
If the love you have is for me to hold...

I try to find ways to talk to you
try to find reasons to say Hi...

May God bless our men and women in the military--
The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light...
