I ask for one thing
The privilege to be near
To give and forgive

I ask for one thing
The privilege to be near
To give and forgive

Give me a solid rock to cling to
I will not stray from
Its foundation
Build a home upon
Its firm terrace
Until then I float
Downstream
Looking upwards
To the sky
Taking turbulent rapids
With courage
Until I land on river bend
Becoming a platform
For those sinking
Downnstream
To cling to

Heart empty vessel
No sticks, stones or broken bones
Could ever fill it

Every speck of colour
Flying past my eyes
Arouses great fascination
Friend or foe?
Local or blow-in?
Show me your colours
I will let thee live
For everyone of you
Everywhere reminds me
Of love for all things
All at once
αγάπη για όλα τα πράγματα

Days when clouds appear
Like Constable's brush strokes
Cool and clear
Unreal like a picture
In a coffee table book
Changing heavens above
A palette full spectrum
Twisting like end of day
Dibs and dabs before
Night fades to black
Why I sit inside
Mesmerised
By just one
Snapshot in time?

A strange kind of opulence
Tucked away behind
Concrete walls
Only to be enjoyed
By the blessed few
Who die too soon
To enjoy it

Write my name in sparklers
In the dark
Hang ancient treasures
Round my neck and yours
Half and half
Hold my hand candlit
Till our flame goes out
Long lost mysterious
Friend and lover
Whom I've never found
Escape the cacophony
Flocks, herds and hives
Filling mind abuzz
Wandering fencelines
Break free from roots
Fly to where
No one keeps you down
Let the sun simply
Be your guide

There is one
Name renown never
Escapes me

No longer lying
Languidly in the shallows
Deep calls to deeper
