Stay SaltyViolently mimic the wind,
stay salty yet flow like water;
With an attitude stay thick skinned,

A beat that pure instinct will know,
leaving you in the driver’s seat;
The air waltzes with...

Tears Fall Again - A Triple Triolet
I hear your voice and the tears fall again
As babbling brooks flow and soft breezes blow
When birds sing us their sweet morning refrain
I hear your voice and the tears fall again.

dripping magick into potions....
