I Am Alive

I hear the song 
Feel the vibe 
I’m alive

I am alive!

Anyone Here?

Anyone home? Anyone here?
Can’t see the sky
It seems so full of fear
Can’t hear the song of birds so dear
Can’t feel the warmth of the sun so bright
Feels cold, cold as a freezing night
Does anyone know? Does anyone care?
Don’t know the answer
Even if the question hasn’t been asked
Is anyone, anyone here?

Calm Has Come

Calm has come
Stopped the siege
No one knows
Nor cares why.

Bow my head
Hear it now
Blending
Softness into song.

To the world
Nothing’s changed
Yet I know nothing
Will be the same.
