Hole in the Sky

The radio just told me
of a war going by

a mother told me
her child wouldn't cry

I sat and listened
what else to do

are you going to get up
and join this war too?

Shaking and rattling,
Blazes on ice,
Loving and bleeding,
A hole in the sky,
A hole in the sky...

This ship is not sailing
it has no more crew

watch for the albatross
see where it flew

The trip is a long one
it began at the end

look close behind you
you might need a friend.

Shaking and rattling,
Blazes on ice,
Loving and bleeding,
A hole in the sky,
A hole in the sky...

 Downstream

Higher Power guides my way

keeping me safe

and not astray

Events don’t go the way I planned

but HP has got it sorted

Prayer should not be my last resort

but the key that opens my day

and the lock when I turn out my light

The less I struggle

the more serene

acceptance & surrender

no longer a dream

when I float down

the stream of life.
