Deep Down Words began as a poem in 2005. In 2011 when I started writing songs she became a piano ballad and then a spoken poem over me playing alto saxophone and piano with electronic beats version. Now she's brought me here because I need to keep her words, and what they remind me of alive. This song has held me together through all kinds of weather. Thank you for listening as she continues to grow forward. Words of love. Love of words. Love in sound. Love in silence.

Deep Down Words 2018-38 Remix

a soft teardrop from deep within the opal of my eye

sadness brings me beauty
crying feeds my soul
laughter fills me up
oh joy fill this hope
oh joy feel hope

i sigh eye cry i fly

A nightlight is a small light fixture, often electrical, placed for comfort or convenience in dark areas or areas that may become dark at certain times, such as in an emergency.

lyrics to Nightlight:

there i was tossing and turning
night sweating into morning tears burning
when i opened my eye inward
to the nightlight within
glowing warmth, breathing comfort
nightlight inside my lungs
stoking life each moment
nightlight in my chest
breathing life most potent
nightlight shine me
nightlight fly me
the ghosts in my closet became my friends
the monsters under my bed became my lovers
each breath a link in the rhythm of my life
i breathe, i breathe

open up this will hurt
this pain is real
can't sop this feeling
i'm a creature, I need comfort
comfort creature stretches my mind to fly
nightlight, nightlight allows my heart to cry
nightlight within
