Man's Road

© America

Horizon rising up to meet the purple dawn.
Dust demon, screaming, bring an eagle to lead me on.
For in my heart I carry such a heavy load.
Here I am, on Man's road.
Walking Man's road.
Walking Man's road.

I'm hungry, weary, but I cannot lay me down.
The rain comes, dreary, but there's no shelter I have found.
It will be a long time till I find my abode.
Here I am, on Man's road.
Walking Man's road.

Moon rising, disguising lonely streets in gay displays
The stars fade, the nightshade, closing makes the world afraid.
It waits in silence for the sky to explode.
Here I am on Man's road.
Walking Man's road.
Walking Man's road.
Walking Man's road........

Where do Unicorns Go?

© America

In the sea, the fish have learned to fly,
On a moonlit night, on wings of silver,
As the enchanted stars sail serenely by.
Do they know?
Where do unicorns go? Where winged horses fly?
Narwhals lost at sea, and never seen again.
Go, go and ask the magpie,
"Where do unicorns go?"
In the trees, the birds have learned to speak,
Many colored, they keep their secrets,
In a parade of clouds.
Playing hide and seek, do they know?
Where do unicorns go? Where winged horses fly?
Narwhals lost at sea, and never seen again.
Does myth and mystery lie,
Where the unicorns go?
