about

I'm honored to be asked to share vocals and spoken word for my friend, Ivano Bersini. I never really understood poetry, until I discovered Ivano's several years ago. The emotions that I felt through creating music I felt through reading his words. This is the first time I've participated in a collaboration that merges poetry and music and even though our respective cultures and our place of residence differ (I in the USA and Ivano in Italy) this special project reminds me how more similar we are than different.

lyrics

I dreamed of droplets of light piercing my body
in a dialogue of emotions
where everything was enchanted with colours and renewed sentiment,

while an enigmatic energy
revealed the invisible Universe
slumbering in the sacred shadows of our hearts.

Here, life is an illusory moment, a “smoking mirror”, from which we can arise again by nourishing the faith and love in our intrinsic divine nature, the source of sublime creativity that is gagged by daily conformity.

From the gospel of my dreams
golden pages
reflect fantastic visions onto my unconscious.

During the night I hallow my desires
in this boundless magnetic field
of delightful opportunities.

From the gospel of my dreams
golden pages
reflect fantastic visions onto my unconscious.

Like a pioneer of the spirit
I dip into reflection
without time or limit.

From the gospel of my dreams
golden pages
reflect fantastic visions onto my unconscious.

An effervescent babble of colours
greets my request
and I arise to an immaculate
vibration of the Universe.

From the gospel of my dreams
golden pages
reflect fantastic visions onto my unconscious.

Genuine codes authenticate my spirit
in this fantastical experience
where I see alternative projections of myself when special sounds
trigger the spiritual osmosis.

From the gospel of my dreams
golden pages
reflect fantastic visions onto my unconscious.
