I sang in great halls and cathedrals.

In temples and opera houses -

My voice, I trained and developed

My songs, I wrote and recorded -

Then suddenly I sang alone (at home)

While others were going out cheerfully

Invisible walls trapped me,

Prevented me from joining.

People covered in sweet toxins

Synthetic, plastic glues

Without care for human safety

Faux fragrance industries grew.

Invisible walls cut me out

Sealed or barred my way

My Song only grew and expanded

Only deepened - and changed.

Then Nature heard my voice

A sound that touched the trees

My Soul became the Song -

Combined with Valley, Hill and Sea.

My Great Hall - All of Creation

My Voice - All of Me.

I am a “Canary”

Singing
