Rainbows in the Sky





She will remember how every evening
her father helped her paint, while
Mumma prepared her favorite dishes

Just as her father remembers her exuberant
voice, returning from school
with yet another prized drawing.

Unable even to see her precious face,
he lamented the darkness in his life

It was Rainbows in the Sky
they always or never drew together.

The night is your friend


(Starry Night on the Rhone by Vincent Van Gogh)

There is nothing to be afraid.
The night is your friend
My friend
Our friend

When the curtains of death close upon you
Think of the beige moon
Of heaven's high bowers that await
Your misty breath
Upon the icy petals
Of roses and dandelions

For there lies a brighter morrow
When the sun rises 
In your final home
Where they all await


When silence stealthily creeps over all whispers
Just sing yourself this song
Fill the night with music
And travel on.
