A Minstrels Art

To the tune of Midnight, performed by Loreena Vacano on Archlute

 
fortune favours those who strive
in darkness still to see the light
always keeping hope alive
as they journey on the path

though our troubles bring us pain
causing hurt and leaving scars
in time our hearts will heal again
when love is there to make us wise

not in judgement, nor in strife
will we find our perfect dance
with heartstrings tuned we play our song
bringing notes both sweet and strong
that reverberate in harmony to life

all is lovely, all is joy
as we turn and slowly spin
in life’s repeating endless dance
threading out and turning in
spinning dreams and mending all your hearts

 

 

Love Thou Art

I see you standing there.

bare, naked in my room

i hardly dare approach you

but could stroke you into life

 

i’d give you peaceful colour

tenderness at heart

make you blush with rose pink

flame with carmine passion

 

light you up in glory

yellow, white and gold

floating into gentle blue

a work of loving art
