God has made a mad fool of me.
How cruel to mock me with such a pretty face.
If I gave up now to a ghost in a hall,
A shadow beyond a curtain,
I’d meet nothing but a cold draft of suffocating air.
My spirit would linger like a silk caress.
Woven with the gaze of an absinthe colored stranger,
This fragile thread in my hands...now
Will it mend or melt my heart?
Am I to break her gently,
Or will she be the end of me?
Redemption is not for my kind,
I will die seeking nothing but the eyes of my beholder.
If she be waiting for me,
Then I will know that I am forgiven
And that heaven does exist

It's a mirror, I do it all the time, thinking blimey, stunning work of art.Mirror
The eternal question that some always ask out of uncertainty, but by questioning, you open the doors for more knowledge to be gained. A chip off your moms block.
The songs and art in this book are about our collective emergence after the pandemic and trauma of the last few years - comprised of 5 collections: World as Refuge, Where We Live, In Our Hands, Rhythms of Change and What We See & Sow.
