Winter Windows

I look at the beautiful windows

Spilling light on this dark winter's night

Resplendent  with safety and comfort

Protecting the people inside 

Other lives, Other homes

Other dreams, Other hopes

Other lies, Other than mine

Would I choose another life, another window

Try it out, take it on, make it mine

Yes I would...sometimes

Secrets

I have a secret sorrow

That I shall N'ere Impart

It breathes no sigh

It sheds no tear

Yet still devours my heart

Trick Of The Light

I held you in my arms again

Your head upon my heart

Forgot about mistrust and pain

That drove us far apart

I laid your head upon my breast 

My arms around you tight

Your face turned into someone else

It was just a trick of the light

I held you in my arms again

I held your eyes with mine

I wrapped my arms around you

And breathed with you one last time

There must have been a window

That time let you slip though 

I knew I was with a stranger

But for a moment

It was you

Within my arms

Will these arms be strong enough

To hold you in a storm

Is the fire within my heart

Enough to keep you warm

I have no worldly riches

Still I offer what I can

Tell Me

Is there room within your heart

For the love of a simple man

A leaking roof above my head

A hearth that I call home

An empty chair, an empty bed

Has caused my eye to roam

Across the Bar far out to sea

To wind and spray and foam

Tell Me

Is there room within your heart

For someone to call your own

I have stood in circles made of stone

I have danced to the pipes of Pan

Through open field and wooded glade

 Together with stag I once ran

I have feared the lightning

Cursed the rain

But to the wind I sang

Tell Me

Is there room within your life

For the love of a simple man

 

Lauriston Hall

Brothers of a timeless tribe

Gathered upon the lawn

Some were the evening sun set

Others just barely dawn

And those who knew te mountains track

Stretched their hands to the ones still afraid

Encouraging but never holding back

From the vision they together had made

There are some who's eyes I cannot hold

Who's hearts I cannot meet

And some with hearts of purets gold

Who's souls prefer retreat

Some are lost, Some reborn

Others merely sleep

But standing together hand in hand

A tribe becomes complete

Someone Special

After time spent with you

I knew

I knew that life would be different

I knew that I would be different

I knew that you would be different 

All that had changed was a perception

An understanding

A belief in who I am

When viewed through the eyes of love

All changes

Nothing remains the same

Nothing is exempt

With perfect impartiality love changes all
