synchronicity...

As I mentioned in a Blogger post on 28th June, 2025, I created this song on Songer. It is a mix of my tanka and haiku I posted on Blue Sky. They have then been converted to lyrics. I selected a mix of music styles and struggled to ask Songer to create male and female voices alternating. Finally did it. This is the result. 

Embers and Echoes

Today I was playing this...a few tears...and suddenly a message from my soulmate (across the sea for 6 weeks) as the song played.

This is not the first time such a connection has happened...

And still I am rocked and very grateful it is there when I need it...

And I have found a soulmate

With a blackbird on his shoulder

Who gives meaning to guitar strings

And warms my heart as it grows older

overnight, on a crowded city street corner...

Overnight, on a crowded city street corner, a #doorway with rippling mirrors appeared. Curious, some people entered, only to find versions of themselves arguing about past choices. Some emerged wiser, others shattered. mirror of questions multiple selves weighing up multiple past truths #vss365

yellowed article...

yellowed #article but claims of what was once truth are still readable for now, new truths outshine those archived curiosities #vss365 #tanka #writingcommunity P.S. I had in mind the ongoing truths of why the Titanic sank...
