hopeless time to roam
the distance to your home
fades away to nowhere

lyrics from new born, muse

like a (solitary) tree
on a distant
hilltop

like a (solitary) tree
with branches reaching
high

like a (solitary) tree
with roots dug
down
deep

like a (solitary) tree
i keep
my

distance

there’s no change, there’s no pace
everything within its place just makes it harder to believe
– lyrics to flame trees, sarah blasko

their (winding) road (out of the dark)
so long and

lonely

their (treacherous) path (back to the light)
not the

only

way

limbs
on the point of

breaking

hearts

aching

(lost) souls going with the

flow

so very,

slow

and still,
they

know

however,

slow

the sun will

shine
(again)

can you feel it
now that spring has come
that it’s time to live in the scattered sun
– lyrics from waiting for the sun, the doors

sent to try us
sent to harm us
sent to challenge us

came a virus

sent it packing
sent it a message

that,

virus

that we will survive, and
wake up to a

new day

enjoying the

s(c)ent

of a
clear bright

future

book me: a fresh perspective
book me: the ability

to love
and

loved

book me: time
book me:

a
