Will is a strange gift, allows seeing and dying, yet time catches all love, dreams, hope, faith, life and even death...


They ask me to leave the city behind and move to the center place


A suburban rainbow of fame and fortune, leave behind the built with my own hands,


Designed for the children of my life as each came to make the expand, and distance wife demanded


Dreams lay again in the sand of the hour glass man


Care free highway slips in the pages of book ward ages


We are the new cobblestones of a past kept in new aged bone


Poets come to dance the words and rhymes of sand less hourglass time


So perfect the shape and sound of the rainy day nightmare all just stop and stare


Drunk again on the last of the strawberry wine in a few of the hour’s praise lived just fine


Will you comfort me in the time that sings me to intelligence left bare?


So sad the world is when the day falls in the death wish of a time dropped to peace


In the world I picked a burden carries each thought across plains of the what if only a moment



Momma wipe my brow as I feel the death coming now


In the frame I see the water breaking the ice-free for me


Who comes for me this night a singer of the dawn ’s early light?


Deary holds the wipe on the side of love left sailing on the Passion Sea


No the mold of the pattern broken is a child of day light screaming hold me


Kept in her safe for the day to come when she is alone and needs a voice like mine


So shallow the burden of wishes of a danger in the keeping of faith


As the damned takes his place in the narrow tube of the glass waiting to be


Slowly each pass made leaves a gap yet to be filled by wishes of children reaching


Father of the sea lifts me to the world of all that used to be


Voices find the place for the battle to rage in the calling terror page


Burden of the day slips the way forward holding tears in waiting man fears


Find me soul searching for the hour in sand left on the sage winners let to mind


Burn of glass kiss the windowpane of upside dreams on a black road lost in the fast lane


Dreams are again the vehicle that leads the blind to the light in the hourglass turned to mind
