about

Made from material collected mostly during the winter lockdown of late 2020 - early 2021 but only finished post production in the summer of 2021, to be included in the online version of EYES WALK Digital Arts Festival.

lyrics

There was a blinding light 
before we heard the warnings…
somehow bringing with it 
a texture of confusion and transcendence 
- both

And in the dark that followed
thick and viscous 
cobwebbed and honed

I spun… 
the golden lifeline threads
inwards towards and around my centre
a dancing vortex growing in the space now freed
by the quieting human life 
surrounding

A spider’s wisdom hidden in its  depths

I walk and as I walk 
I find around me stillness
Encased within a churning Storm
[[  Greater than any of us  ]]
Its streaming spiral eye vibrating
cascading waves of life 
ignited 
by a force unknowable 

And from its centre
the tendrils come out… 
feeling the satelliting forces 
gestating in their own cocoons
tracing tentatively 
electrostatic bursts emanating from
the melting of tissues - the liquifying of bones
re-binding and restructuring
into new forms
sometimes sublime 
others abhorrent
but all of them boiling with it
transforming in time
as is the world around us 

Sometimes a voice will break the silence
like the raking nails of despair unwilling to let go of their hold
hooked deep into souls that knew no other way
To pray...
I sit and wait
i cannot run outside
they have to come to me
and only if they’re willing 
To lift the veil and brave the storm

Reminding every scar
fighting to heal every wound that won’t stand still…
bleeding fresh 
precious life down city drainpipes
That pain is beauty
And all Life flows back to the same Source 

The birds sing livelier this year
and skies are clearer
As i long to be
to return to the Sea
held fast i am by concrete bricks and mortar
I bring it to me 

And I bring it through me
wherever i go 

These alternating waves
Within
They fill me to the brim
and turn the World asunder

No wonder
We are blessed
