He sang of songs
letting sounds arise from his head.

He wrote of words not yet heard
and visions not yet said.

He used his pen to re-ascend
the hobbit from the grave
he fell so worthy as a cool world journeyed
to an animated slave.

And Tony came into the circle
with grace slick upon his arm
with fritz the cat upon his hat
with a suave and delicate charm.

Then on the way to Bowie's bunk
heavy trafik took its luck
with time and havoc much at ease
another Pete came with these.

So it's times like these
we ask ourselves
the truest line of all
is it good to be alone?
Or is the human's fall?

Definately good to be alone for those that want to be alone...those that don't see it differently...James
