Free of the guilt gnawing away my vital thoughts at a time when I need them more than ever. Stroll on the cliffs and behold the endless horizon. Erase those paralyzing poisons. Groping now along thick slippery walls, equilibrium is struggling. The earth is trembling. Breathe in deep, find the center again. The future waits for a sign, I must re-enter. There is the doorway beckoning me. I wish for something but can’t know what it might be. Far on a distant shore shining, swelling above the ocean’s roar. I’ve asked permission from myself to explore what feels like freedom. Passing before me is a caravan of glittering gems. “You must come closer,” she sings to me. “Come to me.” That is the music I’ve been longing to hear. Waves of pleasure, I must trust them as they’re washing over me. /// FACEBOOK→   / delosmusic   TWITTER → www.twitter.com/DelosMusic INSTAGRAM →   / delosproductions   YOUTUBE →    / delosmusic   WEBSITE → https://outhere-music.com/en/labels/d... #ClassicalMusic #Delos #OHMusic
