Ballad
Family
There was a time, a whole life ago, When every moment was fully yours You could go out, you could just flee Grab but a bag: the world is to see! It was a time, unbridled and free And then you made a— family! There were some nights, a lifetime ago, You wouldn't feel like wasting on sleep. You could go dance, you could get drunk! You could stay up to watch the TV. Those were the nights, unbridled and free And then you made a— family! There was an age, an era ago, You spent your money on gadgets and cars, You didn't need a savings account, Or the permission to spend each amount. It was an age, unbridled and free And then you made a— family! There was a stretch, an instant ago, You felt unloved, alone, and afraid. No end in sight, you wouldn't admit, You loved your life, yet wanted to quit. It was a stretch, unbridled and free And then you made a— family!

The Dreamer.
The clock ticks and tocks... The moments rush past faster than the oxygen which enters our lungs... Her hands claw into my spine with such intense energy... At last, a calm looms upon both her and I... Like that of the waves of the sea crashing gently upon the shore...

Smoke from the Ancestors 🔥💨
In the cloudy puff, I see a path back — back, back, back — back into the eons. The swirling smoke for the people was seen as a bridge between our world and the spirit world. And the smoke remains for us a bridge to those people. The ancestors.
