If only we had been fearless Grasped the clouds in our caress Chased the moon and kissed the sun Rocked the ocean, became as one Seized the moment without regret Dared to play Russian roulette But when the flashing lightning rolled We heard the warning bells that tolled Two timid souls drew apart Mouth from mouth and heart from heart To fly like birds to safer shore And with deep regret we are no more.

TIMID SOULS
THIS NIGHT I cannot see the moon tonight, but stars sit on my window pane For Jack has brought his frost tonight and the winds of Thor, at force again And with his mighty chilling breath, strikes the beggars in the street And howls his sarcastic laugh when moves the ground beneath their feet That tremble o’er the freezing snow so deep it buries hedge and fence No shelter for their brittle bones, their agony immense And I beside the embers glowing, sit, clad in warmth and cheerfulness But my heart it walks the cold night streets searching for the weak and homeless.
