My sister –
you walked on this stone by yourself;
felt the pain of a whole world
and dared to make it a better place.
I compare you to a rose
late in the fall of the year
whose petals, though losing the will to live,
still reach for the gift the suns’ arms offer.
The memory of your untiring compassion
will not long be forgotten,
nor will we soon comprehend
the grief we feel for you.
I never knew you, but, like you,
I cried at the tragedies that were inflicted
upon this irreplaceable home to us all.
You did make a difference,
one that will not soon be forgotten;
if not in our minds and our memories,
then deep in our hearts.
In my heart, I will keep a small corner
a shrine to your ideals;
perpetuating a hope for us all
of a better earth and home
with a single red rose in mourning.


(Dedicated to the memory of Diana, Princess of Wales.)

  Black as the Pit from pole to pole,   
I thank whatever gods may be   
  For my unconquerable soul.   

In the fell clutch of circumstance 
  I have not winced nor cried aloud.   
Under the bludgeonings of chance   
  My head is bloody, but unbowed.   

Beyond this place of wrath and tears   
  Looms but the Horror of the shade, 
And yet the menace of the years   
  Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.   

It matters not how strait the gate,   
  How charged with punishments the scroll,   
I am the master of my fate:
  I am the captain of my soul.

I was raised by the beasts of the wild
I dwell in the cave of the shaman
I am known as Lucifer's Child

At ten years old did I first taste blood
At 15 I burned down a village
At 21 I was on the run
And today I **** and pillage

I live up in the mountains
A monster out on the edge
My heart is scattered across eternity
Black is the color it bled
My soul was bathed in the blood of my birth rite
Glow of God's Love, I've never known
So I choose to wander, a vagabond
And I'll die the way I was born - as a rogue

I'm the Emperor of the Fire
That devoured the valley below
I'm the lord of the funeral pyre
I bring terror wherever I go
I'm the Ogre from beyond
That watches from the stars
As this ugly world destroys itself
In a sea of blood and fire

I reached slowly to you
you felt my touch
I know you realized then
I loved you so much

I spoke slowly to you
you heard my every line
I know you heard me then
and knew a love like mine

I called slowly to you
you seemed to pause a bit
I know our life came back to you
those years were but a minute

I pleaded softly to you
but did you hear my cry
I know you didn’t then
but felt no reason why

I shovelled softly now
the neighbors must not know
you left me sometime in the night
I don’t know where’d you go.

I remember placing the coin down
it was oh so shiny
it reminded of the glint
of her eye when she looked at me
we were but children
but we felt so wise
and grownup
playing our little game of house
we were like adults
She was my wife
and I her husband
she greeted me each day
as I came from pretend-work
she had my supper ready
and mudpies were our whole meal
when we were but children

But us children grew up
I remember thinking new things
and having strange feelings
I remembered her simple ways
I remember liking them
But things change
and I changed
I was always far away
from where I grew up
(where we grew up)
I didn’t see much of you then
but I thought about you
did you think of me
I wonder sometimes
why did things turn out not quite
like we had thought they would
We were but children
I am an adult now
and you
are no longer with me
but as I glance up to the setting sun
I realize it is setting too late
for a part of me will go with it
I search for a disposal to
put my newspaper in
I’m through with it already
I caught your name in the small print
and I can still remember back
when we were but children.

WHEN DID I

When did I?
I remember soft skin, a smile, a laugh
Being held, comforted, and soothed
When did I first become aware of being in this world?

Crying, hunger, afraid
A warm suckling, tummy full
Sleepy now, cooing, sounds of a lullaby
When did I first become aware of hunger in my world?

Bright light, warmness on my skin
A blanket on grass, a breeze on my cheek
Laughter and swinging in the park
When did I first become aware of the sun and wind?

Run, skip, hop
Wheels turning, knees pumping peddles
Climbing jungle gyms
When did I discover the usefulness of limbs?

Giggling, running away
A shy smile, and shy eyes
Holding hands, a gentle squeeze
When did I discover young love?

Deep passion, longing
Strength in embrace
Joining together as one
When did I experience true love for the first time?

A feeling of oneness
Energy shared, united
You, me, we, simply are
When did I know all is connected?]]>

I looked through a telescope once,

It looked so lonely way out there.
I wish I was there.
