Wheel of life

                                                 Till where does the river flow till when the stars surcease to shine So must circle the wheel of life  till when the mountain must stand till when the oceans subsist So must turn the wheel of time till when the body bonds to the soul so long as life exists, and the living be Must art remain, and the feelings flow May the hearts beat in tune with the living and the gifts be spread throughout Love and loss and death and rebirth faith and companion and success and play must each spoke of the wheel turn its way And till when the wheels are given free rein May all the living remain.

In bleak voids/enemy of passion

I am lost
and I keep losing
Round and round
I keep spinning
in bleak voids
and brightless stars
attracting anvils on my head
and chaos in my brain
I keep losing
routes and directions
There is a hell
worse than hell
and then there is this void 
lifeless, soulless, dreamless
and joyless enemy of passion
and I keep losing
in this dreamer's nightmare 
I dream to fall
I dream to rise
but I am tied
by weight of mine own passivity
by force of mine own inaction 
have I extinguished my fire 
Light goes away
and the stars hide
and I keep screaming
there is no light
there is no save
I am crushed 
by weight of my anvil
in bleak voids
I keep losing.
