My blood is singing

My tears are falling

I remember, I remember

My ancestors are calling

My memory whispers

All those for whom I long

Brother, brother

Please hearken my song

Da la la la da, da la la la da

Deep deep within me

It rushes through my veins

Ten thousand melodies

Calling out my name

Father, grandmother, friend

Shall we see each other again?

And I ask and I ask

When when when?

Lub dup lub dup lub dup

Head bowed, deep in prayer

Incense smoke

Weaving through the air

Brother brother brother

Are you, are you there?

Gen

Art, nature, reading and writing have always been healing balms for my soul. However, life as it usually does, takes you on twists, turns and detours and I left my writing behind. I'm finally coming home.
