Chances At Dawn

Can we blame time
for giving us dawns
Can we query time
for granting us nights
Who? Who amongst us is clever
Let him come
Who? Who, amongst us is restless
Let him run
For when time has chosen
even before our eyes
it confounds the bright
and out-smarts the agile
Who? Who amongst us can gather
 the sky and squeeze the ocean
Let him speak

Those who rise and shine
must honour time
Never again will man and time
battle for the wings of flight
No, no, never again
For time brings, time takes
Time makes, time dissolves
Time of chances, chances of time
After our nights and dawns
over our fights and yawns
 we will remain with time
Oh, take your chances!

Adventure

Someone must answer the call
no mater how long it takes
Something must matter today
no matter how bad we hurt
Somewhere be home again
no mater how far we stray
For some fun remains ahead
no matter how gory the past

Adventure!
Search the world, and roam
Search your heart, then your head
Go, go in search of gold
and work your world
If you fly, fly
if you sink, stay not down
When you conquer, be humbled
when you’re floored, be humoured-
they both bring honour
in coming days
They each house glory
in special ways

Measure!
As you give, you receive
When you take, do give
Search thee equally
For, this day is all day
to those who are free
to those who know the world…
And work for all

Tones of Tonight

Levels and pitches
make some high
and many low, tonight
Sign on and Weigh in
no matter how broken
you are, tonight
Sign in and sing along-
the waters are warm
and the tide alluring
Hey, hey, honey
hide them your swim-suit, tonight

Take me to levels
and pitches, my friend -
why bother the world
Bring me to currents
bring me to tears...
And still bother, tonight

Sing, as the moon mimes-
it is da music to heed
Rap, as the stars twinkle-
there is music to read
Take me to levels
bring me to pitches...
We see the better, tonight

When together, why the bother
When asunder, all the ponder
This be our music, tonight
