To shy away
to rise below
the wave to seek
what isn’t shown
or to sand ones hand
climbing rocks of foreign land

This is today
my last hardy say
What does one need, to do
Need to do, or say I’ll follow through
Or need to do
Or run free, away
from time and fools
Who came from another day

Mortality rises

below the swells of life’s-sea
Reckless
Sudden
Absent of mind

Mortality comes to remind us
This we see till life’s joy-
ride ends sometimes
Before our fall
With business finished and some left
To all

Trick is, rise before the fall of time
Not get cheated
of what little yards are ours to hide

Yet this we know
Tis a sorry time for all
If one or more
Wrestles gain from a fallen snow
Dear prices not owed to all, or none you know
Wrestles gain from my fallen snow

I rode a silver horse
Across lands of red and blue
A steed of many kinds
Yet mine to ride as a fool

And did I ever
Crack that whip
Riding hard through my times, only trip

Of when and then and through mud and snow
Of life’s worst and best moments
Don’t you know?

I rode a silver horse across fields of folly
Stitched with risk
Tied to a party

And yet when, became then to me
I saw another rider
And it was me

Alone I was standing next to life’s tree
One so tall, one so full
A memory of life
Lived to the full

Through the smoke
Through the fog
Past the light of angry days

Past the fire of loves hold
Above the smoke of smoldering, time old
We survived it all
We survived it all
We survived it all

And I wouldn’t have it any other way
Any other way
And I wouldn’t have it
Any
Other way

Any, any, any other way
And would do it again with you, any day
Any day
We didn’t get cheated
Nooo, we didn’t get cheated

Yes, I know, nobody lives forever
But if we could,
I would with you any day
Any day

So tell me
My dear
What is it that you fear?
What night dreams of glitter and moss
Wrench you from, soft sleep
That makes you toss

So tell me my friend
Do you worry about the end
Do you wonder, do you feel
Life’s eternity isn’t for real

So tell me love
Is it heaven above
That takes your heart
Makes you cringe
Makes you fear the after, of times end?

So tell me friend, my love of time
Do you fear what’s lost, what’s divine
Are you safe in my hands alone
Or do you wish for one, of a throne

Now tell me love
Are you still scared?
Do you wish for what was once
A young girls cares?
Do you wish for time to hold
That won’t let you go

Now rest my love
I will talk to those above
And tell them of you
And what it is you hold true

Now rest my love
Soon you’ll fly as if a dove
And I will be alone
Wishing it was me, not left alone

Now tell me love
Tell me my dear
Say you will watch over me
From there.
