Aim, shoot, wind Aim, shoot, wind Don’t think, deliberate, contemplate Aim, shoot, wind Record, Report, Inform Aim, shoot, wind Conspirator? Collaborator? Messenger! Aim, shoot, wind Uncover, Reveal, Expose Aim, shoot, wind Who are you to judge? You once silent ****** My pictures upset your silent thoughts Disturbed your peaceful ignorance Oh if only you could unsee the seen And the Messenger be ****** Return to self-imposed oblivion Don’t look, don’t see, don’t know Aim, shoot, wind Aim, shoot, wind

Upon my neck I can smell its breath Its growl I hear And it tastes my fear A darkness creeps Like a black-veiled cloak My mind consumes All thoughts of doom I want to fight Or give wings to flight As I feel its power Just waiting to devour It saps my strength Drains all resolve Held by this power I begin to cower I can’t say when I can’t say why It just appears To feed my fears Still I know it breathes Because I let it breath The Black Dog’s there Because I give it air

Black Dog
Deep is the feeling The mind searches for To life and its meaning Behind each hidden door Exploring the depth Of what is the soul Of each passing breath And our simple role Searching for purpose To our very being Just scratching the surface Of a Creator all seeing Does ‘God’ make it sense And unscramble the mind From thoughts so intense So some peace we can find?

Searching
Born unto nature Through nurture to Me With the free will to choose From the futures I see. But does the mind hold the key To the gates of my freedom And determine the path Of who I become? Is all that is tried And tested and tempted All just decreed By a mind much lamented? Are all sorrows and joys What I feel as being free Just prisoners of what My mind allows me to be? So in this great journey Of trial through my choices Am I just a slave To my mind and its voices? And when I will look back At the way which was opened Was it a path of the conscious Or a course predetermined?

Being
In childhood it’s slow For we’re too young to know Unaware of this treasure While our lives it does measure Through pleasure and pain And sunshine and rain In our joy and our sorrow It gives us tomorrow But no one escapes As it silently takes The days and the weeks Up behind us it creeps As months turn to years And our youth turns to fears From the clock on the wall We hear its soft call Now ever aware As it passes each year In the rush and the haste We still allow it to waste As day turns to night For its passing we fight From our slumber we wake In our heart there’s an ache For Time waits for none It can’t be undone It marches alone To a place unbeknown
