once upon a time, in an enchanted city, a girl-child was ready to be born, made of the true love of two wild, orphaned survivors dreaming the same dream. she promptly declared herself starshine, still remembering where she was from, and she began to be and to breathe and to imagine and to sing. she was shy and she was strange and she was lovely and she was afraid and she was very very brave. she listened and resisted and she loved and she longed and she just kept longing. she loved rambly brambles and tiny white flowers and all things romantic and the life under the sea and moroccan amethysts and the palace at versailles and, well, horses. she made things up. she made everything up. when she could write she wrote poems. poems with words and poems without words. these poems became songs and these songs are for you.
