Aria: Midnight Dove

A personal note.

There’s a certain magic to transformation. An alchemy. Alchemy is, at best, a zero sum achievement; you take one thing and you turn it into another. In our experience, transformation has been a destructive experience. When I met this woman, I knew she was on the brink of dramatic change. I watched her evolve as she conquered her devils and moulded what was left of them into something else… something brighter. I discovered this piece of music by Shawn James at almost the same time I met her. Serendipity? A warning? Whatever it was, I recognized early-on that I was a roost on her journey. When it came time to acknowledge that the time had come for her to “take to flight” we were mutually inspired to create this work.

Midnight Dove Why do you wander On through clouded skies There must be a glimpse Of hope in sight Spread your wings and take to flight Leave the past behind The dawn will birth a brand new light

So fly on and never look back...
