Restless Passion

My footsteps to the rainbow's end
Where lies success or failure
On that dirt road with many a bend
As I wander round this land.

Half of my life is come and gone
The years have slipped from me
Kept me from what I may accomplish
Of my restless passion be not still.

For me whatever my span of years
Whatever sun may light my roving
Whether I wasted my life in tears
Or live for music and loving.

Half of my life is come and gone
The years have slipped from me
Kept me from what I may accomplish
Of my restless passion be not still.

Some of them were angry
Some of them wept and wept
At the way the earth was abused
And the moment that mattered.

With the energy of the fury
They gathered their tools
In the spirit of the morning
To go back to nature.

Crystal Lakes

In the stillness of life morning hour
No cloud to dim that splendour of the day
Let me linger while in rare vision
With mystic spell unbroken by a breath.

By the winding and crystal streams I'd strayed
With light and love from the blue sky above
And the reindeer bounds through pasture free
While warm sunset over the landscape through
