The Clouds Above Were Gray And Sad,
The Ground Below, Chilled And Dying,
The Soul Of Summer Sunk Slowly Into The Soil,
As The River Cringed With The Presence Of Ice

The Sweet Songs Of The Sparrows Had Retreated,
Replaced By A Silence Which Hung Within The Trees,
And The Leaves Which Once Whispered In The Breeze,
Were Now Brittle And Brown, Recoiling On The Forest Floor

The Sun Stayed Hidden Throughout The Days,
Giving It's Much Needed Warmth To The Stars,
The Only Heat My Body Can Conjure Up,
Is That Of Which Was Generated By My Heart,
But It Too, Is A Victim Of Winter's Frosted Fingers

breathe our rolling dance*
absorb with every meet of flesh
all molecules in matrix flow
merge spaces in between
*we are become

Why they call it Devil's Elbow,
I don't and never will know,
Because this is the most beautiful place I've seen;
It's so beautiful like a dream.
There are fir trees on the cliff behind the lighthouse dear,
Oh I do so love it here,
A light sheen of mist fills the air around the trees;
The sunset reflects on the sand which blows away in the breeze.
The majestic seagulls walk on the shore and fly in the air,
So freely and happily without a care,
Beautiful waves crash against the boulders in motion;
The seagulls sing a song of the ocean.
The beacon's light guides the ships at night,
Oh the beauty of it's light,
On and on the waves crash and flow;
Oh I love Devil's Elbow!

Fear Is Entering,
Through Every Pore Of My Skin,
Every Breath I Take,
Escapes Black And Trembling,
The Tips Of My Fingers..Cold

Fear Is Wriggling,
Down From My Brain To My Heart,
It Hurts While Beating,
Pushing Worry Through My Veins,
Pumping This Terror To My Soul

This Fear Is Laughing,
Chuckling At My Wide Eyes,
This Fear Is Thirsty,
Lapping At My Sweaty Hands,
As It Cuffs Me To The Wall

Fear Is Taking Hold,
On The Tears That Leave My Eyes,
The Fear Is Piercing,
The Tissues Of My Belly,
It's Here Because.. You're Back
