At the sacramental traffic lights, I was baptised by her grace, She passed before my stunted path, it was instantly erased In a bright red flash of ruby that adorned her haloed crown and upon a trail of emeralds that for her had been laid down. I sat in my confessional still and heavy like a stone she moved before me just like a prayer that I heard when I was born In a bright red flash of ruby that adorned my haloed crown and upon a trail of emeralds that for I had been laid down The caravan lurched northbound just a chain of senseless cars she was no longer to be found where previously she was In a bright red flash of ruby that adorned her haloed crown and upon a trail of emeralds that for her had been laid down.

The Song of Wandering Aengus I went out to a hazel wood because a fire was in my head I cut and I peeled a hazel wand and hooked a berry to a thread and when white moths were on the wing and moth-like stars were flickering out I dipped the berry in a stream and caught a little silver trout and when I laid it on the floor I went to blow the fire a-flame and something rustled on the floor and someone called me by my name it had become a glimmering girl with apple blossom in her hair who called me by my name and ran and faded through the brightening air and though I am old with wandering through hollow land and hilly lands I will find out where she has gone and kiss her lips and take her hands and walk among long dappled grass and pluck til time and times are done the silver apples of the moon the golden apples of the sun

I'll meet you      where hangs the thinnest       veil and the             river     splits        in      two the    landscape is      bleached all        ghostly  pale       monochrome in          the light of         the moon This       river turns      all           mountains      to           dustand           it runs true           and through vanitas            vanitatum omnia           vanitas I grieve           as much for me as I do            for you I'll              leave youat           the first signs of           the sun and           my heart's painful         pangs but I know           that someday I'll be coming          back here again behind where              the thinnest veil hangs This river turns all mountains to dust and it runs true and through vanitas vanitatum omnia vanitas I grieve as much for me as I do for you Vanitas Vanitatum Omnia

Falling Bird 04:17
I am a falling bird Falling from the sky Below my feet I see the earth It's a matter of time From up here It's so beautiful and it seems as though It could be so simple. You see those dancing popplers go cheering me on waving their arms two and fro it's so kind of them. From up here they look so small and it seems as though it could be so simple. I am a falling bird forgetting how to fly reaching out to gusts of clouds and breezes passing by- From up hereit's so beautiful and it seems as though it could be so simple.
