Painting, Songwriting and Poetry
Your mind is still growing.
Dominated by the senses,
By what hands and feet do, by meal times.
Then without warning it will seem
As if you fall into a tangled bramble bush
Burning away in the night with fiery eyes.
Then you will carry your body in your arms to the river
Instead of your body carrying you.
Does anyone know what it is like?
To have a full heart in a free world
With the cares of children who never cry
Never knowing hunger or loneliness
Does anyone know what it is like?
To have a free heart in a free world
To be spiritually rich and loved
With the care of a child who will never cry
Does anyone know what it is like?
To live a life free from any fear
To be like Peter walking on the sea
And to trust in God that you’ll never die
Does any one even dare to think?
What life would be like when provided for
By the God of heaven in his success
When never a true love will be heard to sigh
I look out of my window at the wind
I look out of my window at the cloud
And there I see in my heart of hope
A better future world under the sky
Words about death and dying
Will die with the dead
Poems about life and living
Will live on instead
The magic of life and living
Will grow and be more alive
The wonder of love and loving
Will fill each and everyone’s eyes
First we dance and then we go to heaven
First we love and then we pass away
We see the sky and then round ‘bout seven
Our hearts feel empty and we dream in grey
First we must dance and then we go to heaven
We somehow forget how hard life can be
We don’t realise how our bodies are like leaven
We only know what’s good and what is free
First we dance and then we go to heaven
And heaven loves the ignorance of a child
Never dreaming death can come between us
The purity of love and all things free and wild
Then we tire and find there are no answers
To questions about love lasting years
Then we cry and end our career as dancers
We feel like stone and then we fill with tears
So first we dance and then we go to heaven
And if we love we’ll live forever more
This is the ideal that life seems to teach us
And if we run we can just get through the door
