Under the cherry tree
I will rest my weary head
In the shadow of blossoming
My desire will be fed
Tired feet and dirty too
I have traveled far from you
Valleys rivers green and blue
Only ever passing through
To fools did I listen
Who take joy in shame
At last, now I know I
Don’t have to be tame
Where I used to fear to go
I cannot remember now
But my sweet, it seems as though
You’ve caught up with me somehow
To fools did I listen
Who take joy in shame
At last, now I know I
Don’t have to be tame
Under the cherry tree
I will rest my weary head
In the shadow of blossoming
My desire will be fed

Zoom In Zoom Out is beautifully reflective. Mally allows herself to be so vulnerable, but the underlying flow shows an incredibly strong woman. I'm honoured to have had a part in it. Hazel Iris
