All we have

If all we have is love
Let love be blind
If all we have is peace
Let peace be kind
If all we have is sorrow
Let sorrow fall
If all we have is faith
Let faith be full

Rubble

Cracked land
Broken, helpless, dissolved
Breached, distant, and old
Ruins sharp against the sky
Rubble, dirt
Children hurt
Shards of doors
Closed forever
No longer together
Explosions muffled
No-one's sure
What is the actual point of war

Blake's echoing green

Blake, my friend
Why don't you try
To find contentment
To lose the lies
Without a shout
Of hurried innocence
Without your self professed
Experience
A rose is not sick for always
Just as the lamb is not so pure
Nor so sweet or lean
Nor is your tiger
With twisted sinews
Such a threat
To me
Why don't you listen to
Your echos
On the echoing green
And can't you find the sadness
In what will never be
Blake, my friend
You did not think
About the truth of
Of ultimate sin
So go and think
And write some more
Whilst still in death
I'll wait for you
Upon your echoing green

Fishing

Drag me down to the depths
Claw my flesh from bone
And if you fish my heart out
Keep it safe and whole

Your Secret

Empty houses
Broken gates
I walk along the street
If you meet me at the end
Perhaps your secret I will keep
And if the street has no end
And if you do not wait
I'll walk until the sun goes down
Past empty houses
And broken gates
