Friends
Form: Quintilla

Remember when we were best friends
The hours we spent just talking through
The night. Our dreams of love, fears too,
In all life's hurts we'd comprehend
As broken hearts begun to mend.

I can't forget the joys we shared
The laughter when no one else cared
And still we speak every day
Come rain or shine we find a way
As soul-mates, you and I are paired.

Two Sisters
Form: Quatern

To friends that dance in darkest night
They raise the power of witches' spell
As voices chant in candle light
In ways of wise they know so well.

In harmony their music sings
To friends that dance in darkest night
Releasing love on angels' wings
Two sisters sharing magic rite.

The Lady fair comes into sight
And claims the old ways survive
To friends that dance in darkest night
In arcane blue their workings strive.

Within the circle they are bound
Two sisters soon to take their flight
Across the sky the cosmic sound
To friends that dance in darkest night

Sin of Science
Form: Quatern

The claim that science let the old gods die;
In our wisdom we needed them no more.
They did not speak like they did once before;
We had no time to pray or wonder why.

Our quest for power has brought global pain
The claim that science let the old gods die;
In plumes of smoke that bore the acid rain
We let our poisons destroy earth and sky.

In words of politics we heard Man's lie;
We took control of fate to sate our greed.
The claim that science let the old gods die;
We took and stole from those with greater need.

Mid crimes of hate we voice protest, at last;
And whispered truths have heard our sorrow cry,
As faith returns to see beyond and past
The claim that science let the old gods die
