Autumn Goddess
A Sonnet to the Mother of Autumn
This is for a wonderful friend. I canβt say too much about her without giving her identity away , but she is a veritable Goddess and a wonderful Mother. The music I am leading with is Birth Ritual the first track from the EP trilogy "Maiden, Mother, Crone" from Jordan Reyne and is a tale about the absurdity of the gender construct and how we are taught to perform the rituals required of us based on our physicality from birth.

The leaves are falling and Autumn does call
The Goddess is watching , her child , her love
She Weaves Her Spell, Calls Spirits From Above
Autumn is coming, Leaves begin to Fall
π
A flagon of wine , schooner of sherry
Halloween is coming , the Autumn Goddess Says
Prepare for your harvest, and now you must pray
Bounty I give you ,time to make merry
π
She is a true Goddess, Queen of Autumn
She gives us our harvest . fruit for our wine
She gathers spirits, raising a totem
Halloween is here , drinking Brandywine
Our Autumn Goddess , Daughter of Wotan
Lays out our feast ,tis a banquet so fine

Going Nowhere , But Home
This is a collaboration between Samantha Ciccone and Mike Singleton , from a concept that came from a chat . We were talking traffic and Samantha said she would love to drive anywhere / nowhere but somehow end up at home. I've used "Going Home:Wild Theme" from "Local Hero" by Mark Knopfler as the lead in music, as for me it fits.

Beautifully written!
Fabulous work Mike!
Oh wow me! I had a powerful coffee break listening to Reyne and the video is wildly surreal. I loved every word of your fantasia creation!
