THE KEY
If I could find a key
to lock all doors behind me
I'd live inside this labyrinth
and never have to worry

I'd make myself a bed
of fallen leaves and
spider webs

Before I'd wake up
from my sleep
I would be extinguished
by the light
of the sun
coming in
from above

Then I would be the wind
and I'd be free
to travel

ODE
To the journeys
ahead of us

To the wind
that carries us

To all the joys
we shall encounter

With relief
we shall be blessed

LET YOUR MIND
Let your mind be filled with everything that glows
Let your mind be filled with everything that blooms
Let your mind be filled with everything that sparkles

Then you might feel better
You might feel renewed
You might feel alive at last

Let your mind be filled with everyone you've known
Remember those you loved and who have gone
Imagine them on sailing ships all drifting out of sight

Then you might feel untied
You might feel forgiven
Then you might feel free at last

There may have been a few
You didn't want to lose
But you've never been a very good performer

Imagine you will meet again and they'll begin to see
Beyond your icy shell
That once drove them away

Do you think it might be worth it...
To stay another year
