Black pools
White rain
Speckled starlight on a window pane

Whispering wind
Thunder's reply
Formless shapes of a clouded sky

Sweet rays
Honeysuckle sunlight
Warm embrace and storm's respite

Speak softly
And words will tell
Who will listen

Speak loudly
And words will tell
Who will be silent

Speak wisely
And words will tell
Who will learn

Speak foolishly
And words will tell
Who will rebuke

Speak in anger
And words will tell
Who will hate

Speak in gentleness
And words will tell
Who will love

Lavender and lilac skies
Will never be as sweet
As the sparkle in your eyes
Or the roses in your cheeks

Lovely Linda
With lovely locks that smell of lavender
Looking longingly at the masses
Lost in your thoughts
Lovely Linda
Never lose your lighthearted laughter
And you will never be lonely

She danced in white
With rainbows in her hair
Her eyes a diamond sky

Her wings took flight
Angle's grace and serenity
Soaring high and free

Into the night
Leaving a trail of stardust
And the sweet scent of lilies in the air

Paper stars on a painted sky
Plastic moon on twine
Glassy eyes watch a waxen sunset
Pretending all is fine

There's a hole in my soul
And I cannot fill it
There's a demon in my mind
And I cannot **** it
There's a storm in my heart
And I cannot still it

"Have faith and all will be well."

Will it?

When happiness is denied, anger is supplied
When justice is forsaken, the lawful will awaken
When truth is despised, the shunned will rise
When life is shorn, a revolution is born
When liberty dies
War cries
