Only Our Faces Remain

Have you seen weary traveler

By the fleeting wayside bleeding

Stealing begging lying breathing

Away Crying digging

Living dying

Brush us not away

As the world is wont

We need your crumbs

Your warmth

Your compassion

Deny our eyes not

The light of day

We need you

Your blood

Your soul

O take not from us

Our very breath away

For we live

And we are

We do live

Give us not your hatred

In you hold good

Our present hope

Please pray spirit

God in you

You have seen weary traveler

By the fleeting wayside bleeding

Stealing begging lying breathing

Away Crying digging

Living dying

We are but worn old

Torn sick poor feeble

We the unborn

Delayed unwanted

Fair innocent small

Do not turn away thy heart

Sun Moon and stars

Our desperate faith

Thy unclean unloved

We die alone

Whispering life within you

Withhold not thy hand

From glad help or

Dark anguished death

Fly us home

Then only lilting song of breath

Remain in bare trees ashen

Telling Love’s eyes

Within you yet

Only our faces remain.

Fare Thee Well

Fare Thee Well

Who can Tell

If we’ll ever meet again

Fare thee well

Fare thee well my friend

Like the sun

Moon and stars

Setting high upon the hill

Its been good

Resting here a spell

Pour me out of your hand oh Lord

O’er the Mountains like a sigh

Tumbling river winding to the fiord

Windy fountains springing forth from on high

I must go

Don’t you know

For the way has split in two

You’ve been true

Neath the skies of blue

Flying Lark

On the wing

Darting round the fields of grain

Joy and pain

A new day begin

May the wind fare thee well my friend
One and all, fly ye like the wren
Far above the way of common men
In the peaceful place of the great - I Am.
