4) I Will Wait (04:06)
I Will Wait For You Always
Even When the Sun Refuses To Shine
I Will Wait For You Until
the Waters Rise
Above My Head,
Holding My Breath
In A Watershed

Even Past the Echoes From the Edge
I Will Wait For You Until
To Give Us This Day
Our Daily Bread
Silences the Whispers
Of the Dead

Angel Love, Messengers Of the Light
Angel Love, Messengers Of the Light

Love Unravels & Kisses
the Apocalypse &
Its Apples
I Will
Until the Crimson Tide
Is Satisfied That A Woman
In Love Won’t Be Denied
Her Will
So Why Don’t You Just Wake Up & Live ?
(Are You Waiting 4 the Light 2 Change ?)
5) Pretty Baby Prelude (00:44)
This song is dedicated to those who love.
And who wish no harm upon others
just because they may see a different world than the one you wish to live in.
There's a Place for all.
And there's a Peace for all.
And may we all find that Place.
And may we all find that Peace.
And may the poet inside your heart give your life a new lease.
6) Pretty Baby (02:52)
Once or twice in your life so far
Pretty Baby
I’ve seen you looking at the stars
Pretty Baby
and asking where the years have disappeared
hearts don’t break
they shatter
when love is all that matters
And I will wait for you
until the end of time
because I feel no charity
when you’re not here with me
Once or twice you may lose your way
Pretty Baby
Clouds may rain on your break of day
Pretty Baby
But I will love you darling anyway
These hands that select you
Will comfort and protect you
And I will wait for you
until the end of time
because I feel no charity
when you’re not here with me
7) Ben Dover (00:15)

You Came From Oklahoma
To Cross the Seas (Oklahoma)
You’ve Said You’ve Been To Roma

Buckingham Palace
In London Town
I Guess You’ve Been Around
Then You Asked Me Where I’ve Been
I’ve Been Down

9) The Things U Like (03:20)
Baby We Could Last All Night
Trying To Do the Things U Like
Baby We Can Close Our Eyes
& Let Imagination Rise
& Fill the Evening With Surprise
For the Things U Like
Baby We Can Fool Around
For U I’ll Be the Only Fool In Town
There Is Nothing Wrong Or Right
Trying To Do the Things U Like
What’s Better Than the Things U Like ?
Nothing At All
We Can Walk the Boulevards
While Dancing In the Rain
Listening To Our Beating Hearts
So That Our Love Is Not In Vain
While Trying To Keep Both the Sun & Moon
From Coming Up Too Soon
Baby We Can Hold Each Other Tight
While Trying To Do the Things U Like
We Can Feel the Flames Ignite
Trying To Do the Things U Like
What’s Better Than the Things U Like ?
Nothing At All
Maybe We’ll Just Fall Asleep
& Wake Up To the Birds
& Listen To Their Songs Repeat
To Understand the Words
While the Sun & Moon Both Retreat
To Keep From Coming Up Too Soon
Neptune Rises From the Sea
To Wave At U & Me
So That We Can Last All Night
Trying To Do the Things U Like
What’s Better Than the Things U Like ?
Nothing At All
Baby We Can Scratch & Bite
Trying To Do the Things U Like
What’s Better Than the Things U Like ?
Nothing At All
Nothing At All
10) Life Will Go On ! (03:33)
Life Will Go On
As It Goes On Every Day
Life Will Go On
In Each & Every Way
The Birds Fly Even When
Blue Skies Are Gray
Life Will Go On !
Life Will Go On
As Time Will Only Tell
Life Will Go On
Like A Horse On A Carousel
Going ‘Round & ‘Round Like
A Dream In A Wishing Well
Life Will Go On !
There’s A Snowman
In the Sky
Before It Falls
& It Comes In Pieces
When the Winter Calls
To Deck the Halls (with Holly)
Life Will Go On
Every Hour Is Not the Same
Life Will Go On
Every Flower Is Just A Flame
Dancing In the Sun & In the Rain
Life Will Go On !
Caterpillars Crawl
Before They Die
Until They Open
Their New Eyes
To Realize
Just How Time Flies
Life Will Go On
You Can Stay Forever Young
(Let it take your breath away)
Life Will Go On
You Can Sing It Like A Song
(Sing it every day)
It May Fade Until A New One
Comes Along
Whistling A Melody
Upon
The Ripples On the Lake Of
Madame Swan
Life Will Go On !
11) Pegasus & The Swan (05:41)
O Say Can You See ?
Pegasus & the Swan
Love Opens To the Wind
& If You Walk Right
You Can Walk Right In
Pegasus & the Swan
A Gift From Time’s
Imagination
A Gift For Poets To Rhyme
About Our Situation
Pegasus & the Swan
Look At the Lake From
Inside A Mirror
& Like A Hand In Glove
Our Love Couldn’t
Get Any Nearer
It Only Gets
Much Clearer
Pegasus & the Swan
Both Arise From the
Summer’s Surrender
To the Look In Your Eyes
When You Awaken
To the Morning’s Splendor
Then You Look At the Sun
Pushing Through the Clouds
That Surround It
Making the Sky More Blue
For A Better View
Just Like Your Daydreams
Found It
The Swan On the Lake
Puts Her Ripples On Parade
Pegasus & the Swan
Created By the Birth
Of the Seasons
They Will Not
Pass Us By
Not For Any Reason
We Were Made
For The Moon
Or We Fade
Alone In Our Rooms
Our Windows Closed
To the Winds
That Might Be Blowing In
A New Life To Begin
The Swan On the Lake
Puts Her Ripples On Parade
The Swan On the Lake
Why Not Give Us A Chance To Fly
On the Wings Of Love Before We Die ?
We’ll Sail Or We Will Sink Or Swim
On the Sea Of Love We’re Floating In
On the Lake Of Fire That Passion Inspires
It Sings Like A Choir
The Swan On the Lake
Follows the Rhythm That Love Makes
Pegasus Flying High
Singing Hello & Waving Goodbye
Beneath the Silver Dawn
For the Last Time
A Caterpillar Closes
Its Eyes
The Life That Its Known
Will Be Gone
But It Won’t Be
Too Long
Before It Opens
& Flies
With the Other
Butterflies
Towards A
New Sunrise
12) New World Forming (Visum Equus) (03:46)
There’s A Freedom That’s Arriving
You Can Feel It In Your Soul
Liberation Will Salute You
&
Release What No Longer Suits You
I Can See A New World Forming
I Can See A New World Forming
I Can See A New
I Can See A New World Forming
If I Say You’ll Live Forever
It’s Because I’ve Seen The Light
I Can See Your Transformation
Is A Cause For Celebration
I Can See A New World Forming
I Can See A New World Forming
I Can See A New
I Can See A New World Forming
You Were Never Quite Alone
You Were Always Right At Home
In The Beginning You Were
&
In The End You Shall Be
Shah La La Lu Jah
BE
Shah La La Lu Jah
Shah La La Lu Jah
Shah Shah
I Can See A New World Forming
I Can See A New World Forming
I Can See A New
I Can See A New World Forming
See The Sunlight Judges No One
Shines It’s Light On All The Same
Every New Star Will Befriend You
&
A New Grace Will Extend You
I Can See A New World Forming
I Can See A New World Forming
I Can See A New
I Can See A New World Forming
I Can See A New World Forming
I Can See A New World Forming
I Can See A New
I Can See A New World Forming
Wonderful Marvelous Is Love!

14) BDSM Feat. Mr. Correcto (00:44)
(Mr. Correcto) Anyway, not to embarrass you or condescend, but it's homage, not homage.
(The Artist) Okay, thank you, Mr. Correcto. It's called poetic license.
(Mr. Correcto) Well, then it seems here on my paperwork that your poetic license has expired.
(The Artist) Would you please stay out of my head?
(Mr. Correcto) I can't stay out of your head. I'm your shadow! [Evil laughter]

16) Camden Town (04:01)
I Can’t Sleep
But When I Sleep
I Dream That
I Can’t Sleep
I Lost A Lover In Birmingham
To A Rambling & A Gambling Man
I Was A Loser In Liverpool
So I Walked Away
(You have the right to be happy)
Manchester’s A Woman’s Town
If You Can Cultivate & Stand Your Ground
But I Landed On My Feet In Camden
& Now I Can’t Walk Away
From CAMDEN TOWN
From CAMDEN TOWN
From CAMDEN TOWN
Where I Feel Free
I Can’t Sleep
But When I Sleep
I Dream That
I Can’t Sleep
I Left My Home In Suburbia
To Get Away From The Hysteria
Too Much Of It Will Bury ‘Ya
So I Just Walked Away
(You have the right to be happy)
Like A Shadow With Too Much Past
When The Ink Is Dry & The Die Is Cast
But At Last I Heard The Bells In Belfast
So Now I Can’t Walk Away
From CAMDEN TOWN
From CAMDEN TOWN
From CAMDEN TOWN
Where I Feel Free
I Can’t Sleep
But When I Sleep
I Dream That
I Can’t Sleep
If Joni Calls
Tell Her I’ve Had Trouble Sleeping
Tell Her I’ve The Right To Be Happy
With The Company I Am Keeping
As Long As My Heart Is Beating
If Joni Calls
I Can’t Sleep
But When I Sleep
I Dream That
I Can’t Sleep
I Met A Lady In Kentish Town
& We Would Drink Until We Were Upside Down
At A Pub Called The Horse & Swan
& We Could Barely Walk Away
(You have the right to be happy)
It Might’ve Been On Castlehaven Road
Where The Whiskey Flowed Until They Closed
She Was A Vintage Whiner
But I Couldn’t Walk Away
From CAMDEN TOWN
From CAMDEN TOWN
From CAMDEN TOWN
Where I Am
In CAMDEN TOWN
CAMDEN TOWN
CAMDEN TOWN
Where I Feel
CAMDEN TOWN
Where I Feel
CAMDEN TOWN
Where I Feel Free !
I Can’t Sleep
But When I Sleep
I Dream That
I Can’t Sleep

18) Being Watched (04:00)
Let's come together
The cracks are peeling on your wall
The slippery elm outside does bend
Towards your sleek stiletto heel
Which, upon my cartilage, bumps and grinds
I bid your service and do as told
Because I am not being watched
And because you are the type
That I've tied to bed in still of night
I break in sweat, but to appease
And open wide my eager mouth
To drive my tongue around your breasts
And unrest my digits inside your nest
Scarce morality does not pertain to creatures
Found in by Adam's lust
I hardly need your scolding words
I do what you daren't, I seethe
You must tear away your gilded dress
If not but for a little while
And give yourself to your self-impress
And to labor bid goodbye
Your shadow is your blanket's flesh
Yet, let the angles of the light
Creep onto your beaming skin
But save some dance for central night
For one whose lover's face is bold and bright
And then score
Tail to tongue
To teeth to crotch
Because you are not being watched
Hey, hey
Let's come together
Let's come together
Hey, hey
Let's come together
Let's come together
Hey, hey
Let's come together
Hey, hey
Let's come together
Let's come together
Because you are not being watched
Let's come together
Hey, hey
Let's come together
Let's come together
Hey, hey
19) Waiting 4 The Light 2 Change (04:54)
We’re Picking Up Your
Mother At the Airport
We’ve Come Together
To Get Her
The Weather’s Getting Wetter
It Could Be A Little Better
We’re Riding In the Same Car
But Traveling In Different Lanes
& We’re Just Sitting Here In Traffic Baby
Waiting 4 the Light 2 Change
We’ve Spoken To So Many People
& Maybe One Too Many Names
My Friends, Your Friends Through Their Lens
To Get A Sense Of Who To Shame
But A Story Full Of Reckless Drivers
Leaves A Lot Of Room For Blame
So We’re Just Sitting Here In Traffic Baby
Waiting 4 the Light 2 Change
Our Car Has 4 Doors
But There’s Only 1 Way Out
2 Exit Is 2 Leave Behind
What Our Love Was All About
We Drove 2 Fast, Burned Our Gas
& the Past Left Us Estranged
Now We’re Just Sitting Here In Traffic Baby
Waiting 4 the Light 2 Change
If the Blues Were Any Other Color
Except the One That Midnight Frames
We’d Not Be Sitting Here In Traffic Baby
Waiting 4 the Light 2 Change
Sitting Here In Traffic Baby
Waiting 4 the Light 2 Change
Time has made us mimes
Because the words are hard to find
People passing on the right
Who have left their dreams behind
Forfeiting their foresight
To take direction from the road signs
Our voices have grown hoarse
From singing Swan songs
Beyond the limits of our range
Chasing shadows on the highway
Hoping the white lines will explain
Your mother's baggage and her plane arrived
She says next time she'll take the train
'Cause now we're just sitting here in traffic, baby
Waiting for the light to change
If the blues were any other color
Except the one that midnight frames
We'd not be sitting here in traffic, baby
Waiting for the light to change
We'd not be sitting here in traffic
Waiting for the light to change
Now we're just sitting here in traffic, baby
Waiting for the light to change
20) Let’s Come Together (01:41)
Hey, hey, let's come together.
Let's come together.
Hey, hey, let's come together.
Let's come together.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, let's come together.
Let's come together.
Hey, hey, let's come together.
Let's come together.
Let's come together. Because you are not being watched.
Let's come together. Let's come together. Hey, hey, let's come together. Hey, hey, let's come together. Hey, hey, let's come together. Let's come together. Let's come together. Let's come together. Hey, hey, let's come together.

Lyrics:
Volume 2 – The Swan (That Never Dies)
1) A Horse That Flies… (00:22)
Instrumental Song
2) Love Is Blind (03:20)
If you see me on the river
Howling at the moon
Whether by fist or feather
Don’t say I came too soon
If I fail to deliver
On the words I said before
Then I shake from the quivers
While I shiver on the shore
Cupid’s arrows can’t hurt me no more
If I look it can’t be found
But if I close my eyes
it’s all around
if I seek I will not find
But if I walk away
I know it’s mine
‘cause Love Is Blind
Don’t bite your tongue
‘cause we’re no longer young
& the songs we write won’t wait
Though the melodies linger on t
Hey get caught up in the fingers
playing the trumpet blasts
so blow it while the spring time
& the summer lasts
Accompanied by the hours as they pass
If I look it can’t be found but if I close my eyes
it’s all around
if I seek I will not find but if I walk away
I know it’s mine
‘cause Love Is Blind
Time is potential
& love is exponential
Notre Dame was in flames
& my heartbeat feels the same
silver sorrows & golden dreams
slipping through the cracks
while gravity screams
pulling me right back
To ride the waves before they fade to black
If I look it can’t be found
but if I close my eyes
it’s all around
if I seek I will not find but
if I walk away
I know it’s mine
If I look it can’t be found but if I close my eyes
it’s all around
if I seek I will not find but if I walk away
I know it’s mine
‘cause Love Is Blind
Love Is Blind
Love Is Blind
Love Is Blind
Love Is Blind…
3) Walk On Feat. Jellybean Johnson (04:20)
When you know
What you know
But fail to show
Just what you know
When your life
Staggers on
Like stagger lee
In an old song
You feel the pain
Of the rain
Pouring through
The window pane
You seem to lose
More than you gain
& only hope
& dreams remain
Walk on
Just walk on
Rock on
Rock on
Just walk on
Walk on
You can jazz it up
But rock on
When you're carrying
Your cross
Across your back
Across the tracks
When your wounds
Are cutting deep
& your burdens
Disturb your sleep
You swim the river
To the other side
No time to weep
Nowhere to hide
& every witness
Minds their own business
& there's no mercy
Only controversy
Walk on
Just walk on
Rock on
Rock on
Just walk on
Walk on
You can jazz it up
But rock on
If you're a shell
Of you former self
What the hell
Just loosen your belt
('cause you can't be no one else)
Heaven knows
It's never easy
Life's a bitch
Even if you're rich
Love is hard
But so is lonely
As if it's coming
For you only
But keep in mind
The ways of time
Never move
In a straight line
So walk on
Just walk on
Rock on
Rock on
Just walk on
Walk on
You can jazz it up
But rock on !
4) I Have A Dream (04:23)
I have a Dream
that I’m not as blind
as yesterday I’ve been
I have a dream
I have a dream
where my vision
Expands to a river
From a stream
Or so it seems
The silence
that I keep
it only repeats
the sighs that suffer
When I sleep
Dandelions roar
Until they are
no more &
then they weep
I have a dream
I have a dream.
I have a dream
that I’ll find a song
That takes the shape
Of wings
when I sing
there are no
dead flowers
just flowers
that have dried from
All the hours
That we have cried
Please don’t
bite your tongue
‘cause we’re no
longer young
& the songs we write
won’t wait
so blow your
trumpet now
‘cause we may
lose it while
we hesitate
I have a dream
I have a dream.
I have a dream
That the stories
That we tell
of all of our faded glories
it all ends well
A young man
scratches his head
an old man scratches
his balls & the pillows
on a woman’s bed
softens as the
evening calls
so dreamers
lie awake
skipping stones
that make
the ripples
on the lake
I have a dream
I have a dream
I have a dream
that the madness
in the mirror
disappears as
it gets clearer
I have a dream
that the mercy
& the magic
in the wind
gets nearer....
5) The Last Word (04:29)
With his head on the ground
a man walks down the street
fatefully
circumstances & chances
& faces
gather where the hour
paces
there are rumors around
that he has lost his mind
or maybe found it
where he worked everyday
pulling overtime underpaid
They don’t need you
to feel the pressure
but they need you
to feel the pain
& what escaped
from his throat
if he’d held it
he’d choke
so he changed
all the passwords
for the last word.
In a garden he goes
to wipe away the tears
that appear
& to fill his nose
with the fragrant air
of relief & despair
his family prays
that he will find a job
that understands
that he’s only a middle man
& not the middle finger
on his hand
They don’t want you
to feel the pressure
but they want you
to feel the pain
& what escaped
from his throat
if he’d held it
he’d choke
so he changed
all the passwords
for the last word.
In a land far away
where the people blend
work & play
they would recommend
that he find a way
to chase the wind
where the difference between
a stranger & another man
is no greater than
the distance
between our dreams
& our plans
They don’t need you
to feel the pressure
but they want you
to feel the pain
it’s not just about
the profits but
submission to
the game
the words we choose
won’t matter
as long as ‘yes’
is heard
so what escaped
from his throat
if he’d held it
he’d choke
so he changed
all the passwords
for the last word.
6) New World Forming (A Swan’s View) Feat. Beatrice Baldaccini (03:52)

You Can Feel It In Your Soul
Liberation Will Salute You
&
Release What No Longer Suits You
I Can See A New World Forming
I Can See A New World Forming
I Can See A New

I Can See A New World Forming
I Can See A New World Forming

I Can See A New
I Can See A New World Forming

7) Hiawatha feat. Luisa Corna (03:46)
PANDORA
Where Are ALL THE SWANS?
Prometheus
Where Have YOUR SONS GONE?
In The LAND WHERE I Was CONCEIVED
There’s A PLACE BEYOND The Make BELIEVE
Where The CAUSE Of LOVE Is GREAT
& Will NOT Be DENIED ‘Cause WE Are LATE
Nor Will Be Because WE HESITATE

8) Her Kiss (Vesper Swann Mix) (05:59)
Her Kiss really matters to me
her Kiss really matters to me
it destroys my will & makes my
inner whispers quiet & still
it destroys my will & makes my
inner whispers quiet & still
Her Kiss really matters to me
her Kiss really matters to me
it destroys my will & makes my
inner whispers quiet & still
it destroys my will & makes my
inner whispers quiet & still
Don’t leave me here
on my own
living in a PlayHouse
looking for a home
a little here
a little there
she’s as happy as
gladiolas anywhere
or anyone I have known
She threw a lifeline
to my pride
& she built a bridge
where I had
built 4 walls inside
she’s leaving
& I’m gonna miss
her ways are like those
of a queen
& when she spreads
her wings
the stars fall
in between
she’s leaving
& I’m gonna miss her
she’s leaving
& I’m gonna miss her
Her Kiss really matters to me
her Kiss really matters to me
it destroys my will & makes my
inner whispers quiet & still
it destroys my will & makes my
inner whispers quiet & still
By the light of
the moon
my pie in the sky
was looking for
a spoon
a little kiss
a little flame
on a black sand beach
my lover became
my shelter from
the rain
Last winter
left me full of doubt
more shrugs
than hugs
& not enough love
to work it out
she’s leaving
& I’m gonna miss
her time is always
on my side
& the love she saved
was the same love
that I forgave
she’s leaving
& I’m gonna miss her
she’s leaving
& I’m gonna miss her
Her Kiss really matters to me
her Kiss really matters to me
it destroys my will & makes my
inner whispers quiet & still
it destroys my will & makes my
inner whispers quiet & still
Her Kiss really matters to me
her Kiss really matters to me
her Kiss really matters to me
her Kiss really matters to me….
9) Time Takes A Timeout (02:48)
Instrumental Song
10) Time Takes Time (02:50)
Time takes time to be time
or the words might not fit into the rhyme
Wine takes time to be wine
and the grapes must not break before the vine
If you have a dream
May it run on steam
And seem
Like your golden dream
Time takes time to be time
or fresh pain will cut you like a knife
Night takes day to be night
so the nightingales can rest before the flight
If you have a dream
May it run on steam
And seem
Like your golden dream
…and seem like your golden dream
11) She’s Sad (03:35)
She’s sad
after all the things I’ve done for her
She’s sad
after all the things I’ve said to her
She’s sad
after all the time we made it through
and I only want to know that she’ll be happy
She’s sad
after all the walks on the sands
She’s sad
after all the money and demands
She’s sad
after lawyers and their liberties
and I only want to know that she’ll be happy
She’s sad, sad, sad
after all the lines of poetry
She’s sad, sad, sad
after flowers and their flattery
She’s sad, sad, sad
after all the broken memories
She’s sad
She’s sad
She’s sad
and I’ve seen a waterfall of tears
She’s sad
no more Cupid and his arrows here
She’s sad
all the valentines have disappeared
and I only want to know that she’ll be happy
She’s sad, sad, sad
deceivers are not believers
She’s sad, sad, sad
I was open like a wide receiver
She’s sad, sad, sad
after wasting all my precious time
She’s sad
She’s sad
She’s sad
after all the moments drift away
She’s sad
and she’s at a loss for what to say
She’s sad
and now I look the other way
and I only want to know that she’ll be happy
12) Share Your Pain (03:17)
I’ve seen your thunderclouds
and I’ve seen your rain
But I love you more
when you share your pain with me
I’ve seen the winds of change
swallow your seeds of grain
But I love you more
when you share your pain with me
Dream your dream
Dream lover
Light the dawn
’cause when you dream
another light goes on
Dream your dream
Dream lover
Light the dawn
’cause when you dream
another light goes on
13) Madame Swan (03:54)
Madame Swan
Are you feeling in your swans today
Or are you on your lake
Feeling the waves of heartbreak?
Madame Swan
Are you feeling in your swans today
Or are you on your hill
Waiting for waters to be still?
Love floats and flies away
Into a dream
You are the last song
That I’ll sing
Madame Swan
Are you gazing at the lonely moon
And can you hear it sigh
Bringing fresh starlight to your eye?
Madame Swan
Are you floating on a bed of tears
Or is it you in your mind
Just feeling the shallows this time?
Love floats and flies away
Into a dream
You are the last song
That I’ll sing
Madame Swan
Are you feeling in your swans today
Or are you on your lake
Feeling the waves of heartbreak?

Pegasus & the Swan
A Gift From Time’s
Imagination
A Gift For Poets To Rhyme
About Our Situation
Pegasus & the Swan
Look At the Lake From
Inside A Mirror
& Like A Hand In Glove
Our Love Couldn’t
Get Any Nearer
It Only Gets
Much Clearer
Pegasus & the Swan
Both Arise From the
Summer’s Surrender
To the Look In Your Eyes
When You Awaken
To the Morning’s Splendor
Then You Look At the Sun
Pushing Through the Clouds
That Surround It
Making the Sky More Blue
For A Better View
Just Like Your Daydreams
Found It
The Swan On the Lake
Puts Her Ripples On Parade
Pegasus & the Swan
Created By the Birth
Of the Seasons
They Will Not
Pass Us By
Not For Any Reason
We Were Made
For The Moon
Or We Fade
Alone In Our Rooms
Our Windows Closed
To the Winds
That Might Be Blowing In
A New Life To Begin
The Swan On the Lake
Puts Her Ripples On Parade
The Swan On the Lake
Why Not Give Us A Chance To Fly
On the Wings Of Love Before We Die ?
We’ll Sail Or We Will Sink Or Swim
On the Sea Of Love We’re Floating In
On the Lake Of Fire That Passion Inspires
It Sings Like A Choir
The Swan On the Lake
Follows the Rhythm That Love Makes
Pegasus Flying High
Singing Hello & Waving Goodbye
Beneath the Silver Dawn
For the Last Time
A Caterpillar Closes
Its Eyes
The Life That Its Known
Will Be Gone
But It Won’t Be
Too Long
Before It Opens
& Flies
With the Other
Butterflies
Towards A
New Sunrise
