It went down. Grace and power Embraced, Solo’s playing The voices are soft and loud filling the gaps of my feelings, this song and the view I’m off to somewhere else. The sunset and I watched it from the sky this time. Fragility and grace Embraced, the song changes I seem to stay the same off to somewhere else I believed wishes do come true. I am you are and so it must be true. The time flies away with me but I almost feel suspended in it as if it stopped just for me. It’s all changing around me I watch it and realise it’s just me. Voices still filling the gaps of this song, these feelings and the light that still touches everything I’m caught in it, I cry. The gaze the horizon and I hold, fixed on each other like lovers who’ve known each other from several lives gone, stuck reminiscing on old times past lost in the laughter and tears. Solo is playing voices soft and loud Dark clouds whisp against a brilliant blood orange sky the same shade I paint these self portraits in love. Warm and at peace. - Siphelele Veti
