The world beyond the fatal shore Not like the world in days before Danger we could glean Danger knows not, of hill-top morn’ Or life of old-country, worn Hard yakka it had been But enough of hills, enough of grass You knew young love would never last Life offers so much more Past the dip, […]
But once
Tell me that the Earth is round I’ll convince you it is square Tell me there’s justice in the world I’ll tell you it’s unfair Tell me to sit down I’ll surely want to stand Tell me you prefer the hills I’ll run along the sand Tell me; turn toward the right I’ll move further […]

I go with you
I am going nowhere Unless I go with you You are my light upon the hill You are the morning dew I am your hill-view drive You are my avenue You are my midday sunshine You are as bright as sky is blue I am the valley you traverse You are my mountain view You […]
A Year
A year passed by tonight I know not where she went She may have gone down corridor And invited in repent Her glowing eyes, her flowing locks Were not for nothing now Destined to absolve my sins With a frown upon my brow For most that night, they knew not Of penitent’s existence Living for […]
Mary…
