Enchanting
breathe.
an adventure
calling
from different corners
a gathering of singing
hearts
ringing
in a magical encounter
unlocking
for one moment
for one weekend
an otherworldly realm
vibrating
as one body
as one lung
man
land
and spirit
and then silence.
Listen to the recordings:
From the secret valley, an afterthought
And now
a lingering bliss
stretching it
for as long as you can
a long, deep breath
an endless sigh
letting go
of whatever it was
you were holding on to.
