Biography

With rythym from our heartbeat
It's very tempo within our tears
Lyrical nature of chaotic thoughts
At times witnessing our fears

Healing properties a balm
To ravaged hearts and savage souls
Imagery springs to eloquent life
As our emotions, so personal, unfold

Inspiration out of venues as varied
as the many insects on the wing
Flights of fancy or truthful past
To fruition we are compelled to bring
