Heaven’s Music

An old woman lurches the horizon

Countless lives her face wizen

Once immortal, she danced the sky

And taught mortals to laugh and cry 

With stardust robes shining good cheer

Yet her friendships became too dear

She risked all to save from divine plan 

And so the gods from heaven did ban

Justice tore her robes and to earth she went

Fellow stars wailed at painful sky wrent

One sad Grey Lady forced to forever repent

Searching for hidden gossamer gown spent

Guarded by fell serpent across cruel canyon

She hunts for aid of pure of heart companion

With faith she knows will arrive one day

Then to heaven’s music she’ll again sway.

Greedy Hearts

Greedy hearts ignore her pleas

Only to increase their foul disease

Listen carefully to her call to hear

A weary wanderer’s voice most clear

Dare to listen to her tale of woe

Avoid her fate and let your heart grow

Holy Order Time Forgot

She hails from holy order time forgot

Sworn to uphold code with honor wrought

With sorcerous song to heal sad and sickly

And send wicked to caves of ice thickly

Warrior monks fighting for futile balance

In a musical world doomed to silence

So heroes in remote temple mount muster

Young Jade to lead them as hopeful zuster

Following oracle’s path on trusty mare

With sword of truth she brings to bear

Her quest to save all with painful song

And find four tribes to right ancient wrong

One last chance to save world uncaring

With loving voice of love and ever-sharing

Peaceful Fate

Heart thumping and brain screaming

A challenge is barked in crowd teeming

Sweaty pace and frenzied panting gait

They stretch toward peaceful fate

Bravely for my art

Worried winds push me away

How to catch up with the day

Exhilarating risk wells in heart

I will fight bravely for my art

Thunder-kin

Paradise lost they rumble through murky past

Ancient curse rains on troubled souls amassed

Creatures of magic mighty yet so weak

By day they hide under dusty robes meek

By night their stormy speech thunder-speak

Onward march dragon-kin into the mist

To defend sea and sky with crackling fist

Their tired Queen leads them to final glory

To rest in cloud kingdom of legendary story 

O Hopeful Dawn

O hopeful dawn what you’ve gifted me

The rain chased sadness to the sea

The sun prods me with smile tenderly

As I dodge demons in dreams darkly

Shining window lures me fast away

I rise with courage to slay the grey

O Hopeful Dawn
