Phillips | |
Twas a man of youthful features | |
Twas a boy of sorrowful eyes | |
Watching out but looking inward | |
Tall and stately and full of life | |
In his life he spoke but rarely | |
In his mind he cried for light | |
Painting perceptions trying to capture | |
That which he saw in his questioning strife | |
Once in Lisbon, twice in London | |
Travelling around for all of his time | |
Looking for and finding a goddess | |
He took Diana to be his wife | |
Of the children they'd begotten | |
Two had died without knowing life | |
And the third I know not whereof | |
But if she lives, she will yet be kind | |
Casey had a mark of simple value | |
He had a star between his eyes | |
In his hands he held an axe blade | |
The Greek symbol of thunder and fire | |
On a night when the heavens were crying | |
He went down and took his blade | |
Chopping wood to warm his hearthside | |
The lightning came and my brother die | |
Bring him no wine from faraway vineyards | |
Tell him no tales of the canyon's might | |
But wish him peace and eternal wisdom | |
For he has died and he died in light |
