He is so small the stars bow down the fierce winds ease their breath, And careful shepherds look upon the one unsullied birth. They kneel and stare while time seems gone and goodness rules the earth. The blight on man is all undone, and there will be no more death, For though this child will be nailed on a cross, He'll be so since he is the jewel of untold worth. For him all stars have shone, have shone, have shone, shone...........

More: www.billheigen.com Drowning Surrounded by a sea of skyscrapers The numbers are my frowning Time takes away my breath Every minute I am drowning The view from up here is gorgeous But I cannot see any beauty All I see is an ocean of illusions In which greed makes life draggy Few people can realize that a smile is nothing more than teeth A hand-shake is nothing more than skin And on this ocean of illusions we keep going Because we need to feed our fears And give birth to more problems that should not exist. I wish I could be stronger I wish I could be brave I wish I could have wings to fly away But I am just a fish Swimming to survive Waiting for the moment to die.  less

Hark, all ye lovely saints above Diana hath agreed with Love, His fiery weapon to remove. Fa la la. Do you not see How they agree? Then cease fair ladies; why weep ye? Fa la la. See, see, your mistress bids you cease, And welcome Love, with love's increase, Diana hath procured your peace. Fa la la. Cupid hath sworn His bow forlorn To break and burn, ere ladies mourn.

There, where the long street roars, hath been The stillness of the central sea The hills are shadows, and they flow From form to form, and nothing stands; They melt like mist, the solid lands Like clouds they shape themselves and go But in my spirit will I dwell And dream my dream, and hold it true; For though my lips may breathe adieu I cannot think the thing farewell  less

Time drifts on between each breath for you and I When your destination arrives, have your dreams gone to rest? Body and mind worn out between each sunset and sunrise When calamity strikes, would then your heart return home? As one act after another plays out, unfamiliarity of nonexistence Seeking and searching, how to link pearls on a broken string? How to sing the missing notes? If tomorrow were your next life How would you spend your day today? If tomorrow were your next life How would you spend your day today?

To show God's love aright, she bore to us a savior When half spent was the night. This flower, whose fragrance tender with sweetness fills the air, Dispels with glorious splendor, the darkness everywhere; True man, yet very God, from sin and death he saves us, And lightens every load.
