Here's one of the poems I shared at residency put to music...I thought it might be interesting for you to see how it evolved into a song from a poem.

(Song)

A Ghost is among us

To tell the truth,
a ghost is among us.
This white love
comes from the darkness.

You become real
and I can barely see.
You're taking shape
to my naked eye.

A broken hour leaves
it's moments scattered.
You've given to me
something that I needed.

I see you now
plunging in your water.
Your eyes holding light
at the very beginning.

Like getting lost
in a breaking wave,
I can only hope
you'll be there again.

(Poem)

To tell the truth

A ghost is upon us.
This white love
coming from
darkness.

Becoming real.
Only barely
visible to my
naked eye.

A broken hour
leaves it’s
moments
scattered.

You have given
something to me
I didn’t know I needed.

I can’t describe
my loss of time
in this brief,
brief dance.

I see you now
plunging
into your water.

Your eyes
holding light
at the very beginning
of night.

Like getting lost
in a breaking wave
I can only hope
you will be there
when I emerge
