How will we be, my friend
when this is all over?
Our wounds might heal
if we can hold each other
Console me, God
oh, how I miss my brother
Console me, God
oh, how I miss my sister
All certainties faded away
oh, soothe my soul
oh soothe my soul

Electrical bursts/from ancient stars
Spin my body around the sun
From the outer space/I brought my promises
They'll end in the deep dark!

Is This A Limbo?
Or Are We Under Glass?
Is There A Window?
Guess My Lungs Might Collapse...
Are We Survivors Or Are We Just A Mess?
Is This A Limbo?
Or Are We Under Glass?
What Are We Longing For?
Are We Passing Thru Hell?
What Are We Living For? Is This Some Kind Of Test?
Are You A Hero?
Or Are You Just A Man?

*From "The Waste Land" by T. S. ELIOT*
"April is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
Winter kept us warm, covering
Earth in forgetful snow, feeding
A little life with dried tubers.
Summer surprised us, coming over the Starnbergersee
With a shower of rain; we stopped in the colonnade,
And went on in sunlight, into the Hofgarten,
And drank coffee, and talked for an hour."

The sacred fire has taken over me
That’s the only way if you have to write and sing
This is my medicine and i’d like you to take it too
Two guardians stand beside me
They keep the sacred fire alive
They ease my sorrow and melancholy
On this sunny morning you’re the one who miss.
In this desolate mess we have to hold on and look each other in the eyes
The dark will not swallow us

NEXT TIME by MARY OLIVER
Next time what I’d do is look at
the earth before saying anything. I’d stop
just before going into a house
and be an emperor for a minute
and listen better to the wind
or to the air being still.When anyone talked to me, whether
blame or praise or just passing time,
I’d watch the face, how the mouth
has to work, and see any strain, any
sign of what lifted the voice.
And for all, I’d know more — the earth
bracing itself and soaring, the air
finding every leaf and feather over
forest and water, and for every person
the body glowing inside the clothes
like a light.
