And the Wind
There is an awesome beauty found in sailing
Through black of night upon the open sea,
Your vessel mauled by unseen waves and trailing
Her phosphorescent wake, as steadily,
She plows into the darkness,
And the wind.

as a hypnotic canon trio of altos over a guitar ostinato (the guitar part is played in an electronic form here), in Dorian mode.
The music is the same as the piece "My love is far from here", but with the original words by my father

music composed and performed by David W Solomons [aka the dwsChorale].
This particular setting was composed with a small mixed-ability choir
in mind, so the voices are mainly in two parts (men's and women's voices),
splitting to four parts (SATB) occasionally, where the words suggest it.
The musical style is reminiscent of the 19th century although the piano
part does go into 20th century style syncopation at times.

Colindale!
Out he walks, six feet tall, twenty two years, ripped jeans,
but respectable
(it's Saturday after all).
He's no threat he's going to cruise the shops.
Along she walks with her groceries old, frail,
her life hangs behind her like a snail-trail,
dirty but still quite natural.
Her eyes focus, she sees him:
the determined stride and the baseball cap,
the torn pants and his Walkman.
Fearful, frightened, full of disgust and mistrust,
she crosses the street, scowling
like a scornful cat that's just been thrown off a lap.
I felt ashamed, I felt annoyed
What about trust?
I just wouldn't react that way.
But then, as a youth approached me
I had a sudden and crucial thought.
I don't want to be smashed up
and I don't want to lose these things that I've just bought.
So I crossed the street and silently
became a product of this century.
