Minus the Higher Power
Emptiness consumes … Its hunger sated briefly With the ch-ching of purchase: High-end luxury goods That break the budget; Low-end 'buys' that Saturate life.

Lyrics composed for music video LIFE SONG (A VISION SPLENDID)
An Australian, Christine M Knight uses the British spelling and grammar system. SPOKEN For years, I worked from nine to five, Lived life and made my choices blind.

I’ll make the most of my life (I've been given) And not let others cloud my vision.

I know about struggle and groundhog days. I'm ready to move on to a different phase. I'll make the most of the life I'm given And not let others cloud my vision.

The Chatter of the Loom
Saccharine sweet ladies -insincere smiles, dulcet tones, iced innuendo, weave their destruction from teacup disturbances.

Fair Winds and Following Seas
Do not stay anchored in the blinding night. Unload the cargo that brought you to this dock. Get out the maps and chart your course. Cast off the tethers that hold you fast; They have served their purpose
