My Best

Oh there's a place where the mountains know our names
and the lilies used to eavesdrop on our hymns
Won't you ransom me in your mysteries
as when I was a rug-burned babe
when I first believed
Higher, higher still
the voices sound so shrill
And as we ride to death
I've naught to say but I've given it my best
I've dreamt of an age when the clouds would never fade
and my heart would hum a stronger hymn of peace
But til then I'll stay where the pines and willows lay
Til kingdom come and love be done of me
My peace I give to you
Be harmless, child, be shrewd
And if this is the last of light we'll see
I'll vow and say we've been all we can be
My thoughts are slowly bleeding out
Dripping on the bridge of hostly crowns
My fears are being realized now
Laid bare and breathless, six feet in the ground

Patterns

Be with me early and late
and may we bask in our endless numbered days
We used to chafe our lips at night
Now we toss and turn in plights
I gave it all to you, I swore
Now I have none and you want more
Oh it's the pattern of it all
I stand and step but just to fall
We are all setting suns
Dimmed of light, void of love
The grass it withers, flowers fade
Yet out hearts remain dismayed
Oh it's the pattern of it all
I stand and step but just to fall
I'm looking for something nonexistent
deep within the fold
I'm groping for something in the distance
out and in the cold
