Seasoned Travellers for Chris Savin
In dreams I travel where I will.
Although I do not have the skill
to dictate where I want to go
Some people can do this I know.
They have acquired mastery
so they can control completely.
The content of their lucid dreams
Just as they like or so it seems
They tell me if I practice hard
in time I will gain my reward
Be free to travel astral
to anywhere I want to be
But until then I must make do
not knowing where I’m going to.

Destiny (Terzanelle)
Destiny sparks thundering through,
my life with an iron rod
and day after day I stand not knowing what to do
as if waiting for the presence of a god
to control
my life with an iron rod
and wherever I go wherever I stroll
destiny is still taking mastery
to control
as if the power that it wields, outreaches me
as if I am a slave with a curse
destiny is still taking mastery
of times in better and in worse
always pre-empting everything
as if I am a slave with a curse
and I am driven to wherever its whip rings cracking.
Destiny sparks thundering through,
always pre-empting everything
and day after day I stand not knowing what to do.
