not even none

When your eyelids close

half, not the whole, not a pose

we know the time is right

tranquil, not clear, not so tight

and the words, they end

completely, with ether blend

we know the time is here

forever, not seconds, not briefly disappear

no sound, vision or mind

alone, not two, not even one kind

we know the time is gone

the past, not history, not even none

chords of life

the chords of life they warm the air

lifting hearts with celestial fayre

and those who step beyond their care

hear angel voices everywhere

the chords of life they calm the day

not wishing for the souls to stay

or demanding they should pray

but easing thoughts in every way

the chords of life they fill the dream

so each accomplishment will seem

a monumental changing theme

when looking deeply to that stream

the chords of life they know the time

and recognise an ending climb

so whether old or in the prime

just one more step could be sublime

the chords of life they never end

their task providing, smiling, send

and with each day of patience tend

the line where bodies-spirits blend
