    behind darkened clouds
    my true heart is trapped in line
    with lost stars that fall

    with lost stars that fall
    with faded hopes in darkness:
    forgotten minutes

    forgotten minutes
    upon a sensitive heart
    beating their tattoo

    feet kick wisps of dust aloft
    shadows circle fire

    little butterflies flutter
    at my face, lost, lost

    shadows circle fire
    old souls mingle on the moor
    faces in firelight

    Then combined:

    at my face, lost, lost
    ominious death advancing
    shadows circle fire

    faces in firelight
    distorted shadows, flames cast
    suspicious visions

    suspicious visions
    green-eyed monsters come to call
    collar lipstick screams
    Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty

    collar lipstick screams
    jump madly from the closet
    sneezing pink boas
    "I’ve tasted all the sweetest creams
    and danced with daisies in dazed delight;
    sunny skies pervade my dreams
    and light the dark of earthly scenes..."

    sneezing pink boas
    fill the air with pink music
    while pink panthers dance.

    When asked how World War III would be fought, Einstein replied that he didn't know. But he knew how World War IV would be fought: With sticks and stones.

    while pink panthers dance
    the cat burglar stealthly left
    with the wireless mouse

    "But do you really, seriously, Major Scobie," Dr. Sykes asked, "believe in hell?"
    "Oh, yes, I do."
    "In flames and torment?"
    "Perhaps not quite that. They tell us it may be a permanent sense of loss."
    "That sort of hell wouldn't worry me," Fellowes said.
    "Perhaps you've never lost anything of importance," Scobie said.

    a lovely touch screen
    which raptures at the slightest
    touch into frenzy.
