Wind's Four Quarters - Heather Alexander

Western wind blow stark, blow strong.
Grant me arm and mind of steel!
On a road both hard and long
Mother, hear me where I kneel.
Let no weakness on my quest
Hinder me, Wind of the West.

Beautiful Ones - Poets of the Fall

Flies with a broken wing, she's ever so graceful,
So like an Angel, but I see,
Tears flow quietly...
The troubles she's seen this spring,
When nothing comes dancing...
Paying a handsome fee, and still she smiles at me...

You're Still Here - Poets of the Fall

Mercury dances in its skyscraper cell,
Rising and falling like rhapsody.
And I see winter's broken like lace,
In time for a celebration...
Thaw wails inside the walls,
And laughs in the corners...
Delighting in its evident victory.

Where Do We Draw The Line? - Poets of the Fall

The dance of flames and shadows in the street
Make poetry nobody's ever heard...
The weight of lonelinesss stands on your feet
The cage already there around the bird.

Rewind - Poets of the Fall

If life itself has a meaning
Is it anything more than what we choose to call it?
Sweet words make appealing,
But they only serve to mask
the smell of what you buried.
