Birds Sing At Night

lungs to fill
  with precious air
  voices blare
  without despair

With all their might
   the lonely birds
   that sings at night

Hold Me In The Rain
Stu Harley May 2013
On earth, as it is in heaven
I feel the sweet taste of sin
The sting of death in mortal men
Release me from the claws of pain
Anoint thy flesh in holy rain
Engage the spirit in song and dance
Cleanse the heart and take the chance
Quench the flame and end thy thirst
A burst of rain the soul immersed
Release me from the claws of pain
Then, you hold me in the rain
This I  know, you help me grow
