Silver locket
Open, close
Creature of night and summer rose
Man of metal
Heart of gold
Soul of stories yet untold
Requiem
And reverie
Mellifluous melody
Rhyme and rhythm
Mother Rome
World of dust I call my home
Gents and Gentiles
All the same
Gathered 'round a burning flame
Long laments
And lullabies
Mingled with an infant's cries
Questions, answers
None can find
Solitude inside my mind
