ANGELS SUNSETS

AS ANGELS CHASED A VAPOUR TRAIL
ACROSS A VACANT SKY
THEIR WINGS CARESSED THE EVENING SUN
THAT MADE THE EARTH SO DRY
THEY TRIED TO COAX A TINY CLOUD
TO COME AND QUENCH THE SOIL
AND SPREAD SWEET NATURE BOUNTY
ON GROUND SO HARD FROM TOIL
THEY WHISPERED TO A PASSING BREEZE
AND MADE IT BRUSH THE TREES
WHOSE BOUGHS DID PAY THEM HOMAGE
AS DAYTIME TOOK ITS LEAVE
THEY SUMMONS UP THE STARLIGHT
TO HERALD IN THE MOON
WHILE IN THE WEST THE SUNSET
REFLECTED TO THEIR TUNE
THEN AT LAST IN RHYTHM
THEY SCANNED THIS COSMIC SCENE
WHILE FLOATING ON A MOONBEAM
WITHIN A NIGHTIMES DREAM
THEY TURN TOWARDS MY VANTAGE
AND WAVED TO ME ADIEU
THEN SET OFF IN THE NIGHT SKY
TO START A DAY ANEW

UNFETTERED

CHASING DOWN THE JET STREAM
ACROSS AN EMPTY SKY
HIGH ABOVE THE WAVE TOPS
IN SOARING FLAMES I FLY
ARCING THROUGH THE ETHER
I’LL ROAM AMONGST THE STARS
PASSING ALL THE PLANETS
THAT PLAY A HOST TO OURS
UNFETTERED BY MY BODY
I SPIRIT ON MY WAY
A SOUL THAT IS ASCENDING
ACROSS THE MILKY WAY
BUT FREEDOM IS SO FLEETING
THAT SOON THE CALL OF DAWN
WILL BRING ME BACK TO GROUNDING
AND THE BODY I HAVE SHORN
MY CORD WILL PULL ME TIGHTER
INTO MY SHELL SO LEAN
THAT WHEN MY EYES DO OPEN
I’LL FORGET JUST WHERE I’VE BEEN
