APRIL 2020

TIME FLOWS

QUICKSILVER RUNS

LONELY WATCH FILLED WITH STARS

STANDING TURNING

CRESCENT MOON BURNING

LIKE A SMILE IN FLAMES

FALLING TURNING BLUE

INFINITE THE STARS

TRADING SPACE FOR SKY

SPENT YOUR WORTH

FELL TO EARTH

YOU LAY THERE COLD

THE LIGHT BEHIND YOU

MAYBE THIS IS

NOT THE END

BUT A LEAD INTO

START AGAIN

GOES ROUND TURNING SLOWLY

LIKE CHIMES OF GLASS

IN A BREATH OF BREEZE

CLOAK OF DARKNESS

SLIVERS OF LIGHT

TURNING SLOWLY

IN THE NIGHT

THIS LONELY WATCH

FILLED WITH STARS

ANGELS AND SPIRITS FLY

DREAMS PASS OR DIE

FADE OR SHINE

TIED TO TIME

AND ITS TURNING

EVER SLOWLY

MOVING TOWARDS

THE MORNING SUN

NOWHERE LEFT TO HIDE

NOWHERE LEFT TO RUN

FINGERS OF FLAME

POINT TO THE GROUND

ANOTHER NIGHT

ANOTHER DAY

POINT TO TOMORROW

THAT'S THE WAY

PAINTED SKY TURNING GRAY

BEGINS TO WEEP

THE SWEET SUN GOES

BACK TO SLEEP

THE DAYS TURNING INTO NIGHT

SUNNY AND BRIGHT PUT ON HOLD

NO YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT

SHIVER JUST A LITTLE

FROM THE COLD WIND AND RAIN

TURNING TOWARDS TOMORROW

AS TODAY FALLS AWAY

FROM THE SUN

ITS GONE AWAY

TRADING SPACE AND TIME FOR SKY
