Eleonora’s falcon soaring above my
Lilliputian vision of many things to come
Elevating my demeanour towards the sky
Over summer clouds enveloped by inner thrum
Neverland and only space wherever I gaze
Onyx tones caressed by the fastest feathers flown
Remembering days and nights spent in loving haze
Although the spirit is choosy in what is shown
Leonora may have been a falcon before
Every bird of prey became sorely endangered
On the wings of eagles many minds wanted more
Neglecting to see life is frequently wagered
O woman veiled in sadness as the world chimes end
Reasoning each hour as tyrants refuse to bend
Always rooting for some happiness she can blend

*** 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.
