about

the last 12 months of my life have taught me immensely about the seasons of life and the seasons of grief. and about inevitability and change. life comes full circle, both a beginning and an ending at once.

lyrics

circles and circles
the moon’s orbit
the way life always comes back around
the sonic echoes of sound

CHORUS
winter always leads to spring
and spring to the summer sun’s rays
and by the time the trees are bare
i will have lost every leaf of you

the robin’s nest raises babies
the cymbal crashes a chord
in the circle of a safe embrace
i will learn again i’m worth more

CHORUS

lessons to be re-discovered
come back anew many ways
the moon makes way for the inevitable day
and my cheeks turn rouge out of grey

CHORUS

circles and circles
the ripples on the pond
the skipping stone races for
that strange and great beyond

CHORUS

circles and circles
life doesn’t fit into squares
circles are an infinite ring
where i burn all my false cares

CHORUS

in the circle of a safe embrace
i will learn again i’m worth more
