Just what we saw careening by
Just who it was heard deepening sighs
Don’t bother them screeched the sun
We will bask and bake and make
But what it is ever will we know
To eat to die to hold to know
Withhold time’s voice that says…no more
No more no more – can’t even the score
Can’t cry for life
Can’t sing no song
Is it over now
Has everything gone
When did clouds dig the moon a hole
When did my soul claim the sun
No more no more it can’t be so
We went and saw but felt no more
So hold it now and send loves warmth
Away from all to all who hold
Time’s hands and heart it cannot fail
To claim a life to claim it all
Did sunset sounds caress our ears
Or moonrise waves wash over our fears
So nestle near and share the warm
That offers love and life but sometimes …no more

Paul -- this was terrific -- I had such a sense of bluegrass music behind this and I have no explanation why -- it just felt like that to me and I hope that is not offensive -- I quite enjoy good bluegrass.
