Adieu Maritime
A city of Maritime, the feet in the water
The head high in the air
I laid across the warm sands
Of the beaches
On my homeland
The sun rested on the golden horizon
Rays of light bounced on the waves
Drinking from a chalice
I had stolen
For a moment I knew
Silence was bold and
Rest assured so was I
Because in the city of Maritime
Our hands on the naval perception
The hearts having left the town
Warm sands gone in the cannon fodder
The head high in the air put down
Cool feet pushed out of the water
Not a single voice was heard
For silence was bold
In Maritime’s falling, so was I
Once I left my hometown, my heart sank
As the ashes rose to the arid sky
My spirits went down far below
To the memories of Maritime
To the songs of the old
Completing the Crossroads 1
Over the forests of Azure it stretched
Beyond the grassy plains it grew
Crossing the desert's arm it crept
The windy, ever-determining feeling of Completion
It brushed along softly in the wind and brought the Movement
Under the wings of Night, it traveled relentlessly in search
Search for a light to complete its travel, to end it all
And this light lay in the heart of the smiling Love
But before the light, were the deserts,
Seen in the distance were the grassy plains,
And right before it stood the forests of Azure
The Completion crossed each place hastily
Love had been achieved, it was the resting place for Completion,
Completion found Love to be true but had one last travel to make,
Perhaps the most important travel of all
The stretching, growing, creeping Crossroads
A Friend I’d Say
I saw a friend, oh a friend, howdeedoo?
And he sang high while I sang low
And nothing in between but love to show
Just maybe, oh maybe, I showed it well
We met again and again we sang
Butchering and flowering each rippling note
While my mind found its way into a hole
Lost but informed of where to go
I met a friend, a friend I'd say
So wonderfully and carefully showed me the way
As I thanked her I spoke of her to my old name
And he played his mandolin of the coming happy day
--
So I found my way back home this stormy night
For the living dream it spoke of what to leave behind
Just maybe, oh maybe, I'll do it kind
