about

Each stanza is a piece of a story.

The magic of seeing yourself in other people.
The magic of feeling grounded and coming into individuality.
The plot thickens: someone walks into your newfound practicality, steps on your morality...suddenly, you can’t pride yourself with choosing the right words if your emotions are showing through them. And the outcome of any situation depends on what that someone responds to. Do they choose to follow your (empty) words or your (untold) feelings? We often knowingly follow lies. Because they can taste so sweet. Too sweet to pass up.
As as most stories wind down, there lies the lesson.
Take it or leave it.
The magic of seeing yourself. -love,tk

lyrics

I came, and I saw
How the lonely people are.
They sit, then they stand
They make no sounds or gestures with their hands
Their hands...

I came down to the ground
And it made me feel so high
Then I took to the sea
Where things just seem to make much more sense to me
To me ...

Then out of the blue
The boisterous wind he blew
And I shouted 'leave me alone'
But he swept me up; he knew my weakened tone
My tone - he saw the truth beyond what was shown
My tone - and for these sins I will atone,

Alone.
Alone,
Now one of us will be
Alone.
Alone,
With so many people, standing all alone.
