Sky flaming mountainside
They say itβs just like love
Chilly kiss from a loverβs lips
Still cold from her icy drink.
Swaddling the little ones in towels
Stomping from the muck of the lake
Although the sun decides to set
All of the warmth yet still remains.
Radiance of a red star
Alongside, you and I
Bright enough for two sunsets
The embers climb, descend, stay
And sweetly, burn
Melt
You into me.

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
