Lead me from darkness to the light
From the earth to the open skies
Lead me from death to eternal light

All You Need…

The War Within (Bilingual)

There are times thoughts gather
Which I cannot wish away

Let’s walk a step towards peace
But my damn legs will not move

The Lure of Cities

There’s Xanadu, Valhalla, Atlantis and mystical Mu
But most of all, I’d like to know about these two:
If you could, where would you go
Mythical Shangri La or legendary El Dorado?

Win Some, Lose Some

I don’t want to lose confidence

Father (& son)

A trio from my dad.

On Days When Classic Rock is Not Enough

This is for those days when I’m in that state of mind and I need something more…
(I’m sorry, but this may not be for everyone…)

THE PARIAH PREACHER

Praising the Lord.
Proclaiming peace.
Proffering hope.
Promoting brotherhood.
Pledging heaven to all.

Hushhh…!

Hark, I hear the sounds of silence

 

The sun doth whisper to me faintly as it moves across the sky,
The moon, standing still, also listening in rapt attention

THE HEATHEN, THE INFIDEL & THE IRONY

Both reject, both disbelieve, both repudiate
Exhort, incite, instigate, intimidate
Challenge, provoke, propagandize
Mock, joust, maim, kill, eulogize

Irresistible force, immoveable object
Seismic shocks, cataclysmic change
The world tremulates
