about

Gave myself a challenge to write small enough songs that would fit on a single sheet of paper. Used 5 short poems from my collection with no real connection and created piano vocals for each. They do fit together in their own way. As it turns out only two actually fit on a single sheet but they are all short. I liken them to miniature portraits, lots of nuance if not fully detailed.

lyrics

Five Miniatures


The Sun In Winter

Glistening on the rippling water
shining on my face -
the sun in winter
brings out the people
awakening from their sleep.
Everybody else just creeps
along in their old ways.


Scarecrow

It stands alone.
Without a face,
without a mind.
It has no fears
yet it is vulnerable.
It is weather worn.
It is tattered,
it is stringy.
All without shame.
It is alive
and it is dead.


Depression?

Depression blows
all around you,
like autumn leaves in the wind -
taunting and
creating havoc
in the mind,
sending you in a spin and
the eyes are blurred.
Then the wind stops
and you are covered.


Requiem For A Soldier

You lie there
Head turned
You’re at peace now
Pain is with me
For what did you die
For whom did you live
You now know the worth
So there you lie
But you are not alone
So many like you
Out of reach
Out of touch
Still out there


Time

I can’t remember of what I just thought
but it took time away.
Breathless time,
carefree…
time was nothing.
