Another Trilogy

Picket Fence

I have known the days of excess

And those times of `not enough'

I have seen the golden sunrise

And faced nights that were so rough

The fire inside grows weaker

And the light grows dimmer still

But that is not a bad thing

For of life I've had my fill

Now I see a picket fence that

Stretches straight across my way

It marks a destination

Called the ending of my day

So when I reach that final place

Remember this of me

I sang the song of those I knew

Who fought for liberty

Doing Time

Sitting in my room tonight

Thinking of hard times

Gazing back at distant years

And counting up the crimes

I haven't been a shining light

Or so it seems to me

I've written far too long of this world

And it's disagree

I finally found a road that said

No longer need I roam

For all I've ever tried to do

Was find my way back home

Perhaps I'll get there someday

At least I made a start

But I don't think my friend

There is enough left of my heart

Delta Blue

The Storm

Got shattered long ago but then

That's how it was for me

I found most of the pieces

But I could not find the key

So many years of try

But I've gone on in spite of it

Yet still no matter what I do

Some pieces will not fit

Don't really know just what to do

With this imperfect form

I know I'm not the only one

To ever face the storm

I cannot tell you just how weary

I have come to be

The sea remains so angry

And the storm still comes for me
