lessons in kinship: a retrospect
in
another life i shall be
your Heroine
drop the needle, spin the record
listen to the sound instead
in another life
you shall be my lighthouse
a beacon guiding Gypsy wings
seeking solace, weary from the howling wind
born of the same fire
one flame burns out
the other glows infinitely in its Wake
a shining ember among the ashes
you said sister,
"stay awhile, sing a song, stoke the fire"
but the clever wind came calling and i
succumbed to its desire
i said Brother
"leave this place, dance with freedom, its warm embrace"
but you could not see those prison walls were
just illusions, dreams displaced
one man’s freedom is his sister’s pain
one woman’s wanderlust, her brother’s dismay
we shall dance again, I swear it
upon infinite seas, feet full of Stardust, re-kindle the flame
in another life I shall be your Heroine
you will be my lighthouse
Warrior Spirits, fallen from grace
rising again like Phoenix in its wake
