Starman

A rehearsal on stage
setting up the band
they knew the challenge
of the task at hand

A tribute to a star
One they had known so well
And all the days he left behind
Made their hearts begin to dwell

Memories of sparkle nights
Dancing and dreams of Mars
Fashion statements and hair
A labyrinth of songs and guitars

As the band prepares
A face appears
The star in ghost form
to share a message

'Please don't be sad
Don't be sad I'm gone
I'll always be here
Living in my songs'

Beacons

In the tree of ancient stars
The leaves are my hands
You are the wind
The leaves let go

Deep woven sinews
Threaded in branches
Overarching echoes
In memory stained

Beacons shining away
Light reaching high
Those stars above
High in the tree
You are free

Heart of creation

Deep in the silence
We hear the voice of our heart
Calling and beckoning us
To face the challenges
Dreaming and imagining
On the edge of the world
Creating our stories
Creating our truths
Our hearts are always right
They are born of stars and infinity
And they create our future
Where we decry the darkness
And face the light
