I lost my memories
Of someone that I used to know
She was the balance
Of the light and the dark
I looked all over
For the feelings and the warmth inside
But soon discovered
They were nowhere to be found
I asked the grandmothers
To show me the way to her
They said to go down to the trees
On the riverside
They said to listen
To the wind and the water sounds
And to the singing of the birds
High above
And so I walked among
The birches and the willows too
I stood in silence and I opened up
My eyes
I saw her everywhere
And felt the things I used to know
About the balance
Of the light and the dark
How could I lose my sight?
It went into the night.
How could I lose my sight?
It went into the night.
How could I lose my sight?
It went into the night.

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
