There is no Dulcinea
But there is a Catteleya

I'm a geeky former teacher
And once a basketball player

Moonlight in my hand
And moonlight in my eyes

Maybe nothing there at all
Maybe aliens in the skies

Golden helmet of Mombrino
A little like bread and wine

I'm going to need the prayers
When I go down as designed

I took two years of Latin
I hope the Church will treat me kind

God is not silent.
God is Silence.

All who use words
Use a little force.

Preach the Gospel at all times.
Use words if necessary.

He learned what one always learns in times of Plague: there is more in human beings to admire than to despise.

Red Pine speaks
Of a world without words
I wonder what that means?

Music and silence
I have heard
And crazy rock n' roll screams

I miss my children
Terribly
Midlife separation

I miss my mother
Dead from cancer
I fear now for my nation

Moonlight all aglow
Just now
I walk back home alone

I'm tired
And I'm lonely
But I guard because we groan

Beware the quiet man because when others speak, he listens; when others act, he plans; and when others rest, he strikes.
