S = sonnet ----- L = lyrics

Part one

The poet dwells in lofty halls
Can't you see the music?
A poem I felt
S There is a depth within me
When I was a child
I stare into an openness
Far Horizons
Time spins an infinite cocoon
Life's Lost Lustre

Part two

If, when all your cares are past
Then my eyes felt down a long road
When I die
Tranquility
Lord, am I wise?
For Those Who Care
S I find it so depressing
It is amazing
S Time's path
Time intercepts us

Part three

L We've Met Before
How is it that I meet thee
S This person is my brother
L When will I no longer
If love were only a faery-tale
S How can I say
When shall I say
S If I had met thee
When I was young
S It was with sorrow
I dreamed today
I bid thee leave
L I loved you in a moment
S I thought today
Waiting
Attempts to isolate a phrase
S When did I find myself

Part four

I have no songs
I need you beside me
S I creep into the quiet crevasses
S I am the descant
They pinch and pester
S How can my world be brighter
S So few the moments are
I could not wish for higher bliss
Our yesterdays are gone

Part five

I cannot keep my cat
S How sad to see two separated souls
S There are so many things
A fly of butter
L Listen to the rain
A gentle rain
S There was a house
The peace, the quiet
Suspended softly
Autumnal
Come back to life
S Pursued by dragons
S One day a dragon settled
