A blowing leaf
Past memory
A life so full,
Close to the brim
You blink
Four to the floor
Flowers in bloom
Admire the days
The nights, unfolding
Ecstasy
Hours, days, years, seconds
Lasting an eternity
You blink
So fast, gone so fast
Nothing else to compare this too
All around you, fading one by one
Or is it you, or is it…
You blink
Becoming wiser
And as you start to understand
The meaning of life
The more incomprehensible it becomes
You blink
The more incomp -rehen - sible
Fall
Ingin
Love
You blink
Harsh realities,
Forever alone,
Leave no traces on the sea
Leave no trace for us to see

Father, father
Don’t you fret
Your mind is on vacation
You and I might never get
To know each other
Father, father
Don’t you weep
Your dreams are recreation
From those around you'll meet
Close your eyes
And rest
Father, father
Don’t Forget
To tell me where you are
Or you and I will never get
To see each other
Father, father
Don’t forget
To tell me how you are
For you and I might never get
To meet again
Father, father don’t you weep
Your life is your creation
Make your world tender and sweet
Close your eyes and rest

I LOVE DOORS.
Everything about them
Well, almost everything
Unbolted,
Open
Light
Heavy
Ones that resist to pressure
Smooth
Bumpy
Very well oiled ones
Ajar.. for the curious to peak through
Squeaky
Perfectly installed
Poorly fitted or badly adjusted
Slammed shut by the wind or dead still
With vibrant colours
Paint is coming off
Stern ones
Locked
ALL DOORS… or… well, almost all doors
Tiny little doors in secret passages
Or crooked ones by the cobbled path of a forgotten village
Majestic bronze ones that should stop anyone in their tracks - have you seen Hagia Sofia’s ones?
Breathtaking.
BUT ESPECIALLY THE REALLY OLD WOODEN ONES
Fascinating pieces of history
Feel them breathe!
In fact, they never stopped breathing since they were tiny trees
Time watches them crack little by little
Whilst humans behind them live and die
Incessant laughs, cries and shouts
And amongst all that, so much silence
And there I am,
On both sides
Since ever I can remember,
Always stopping to marvel at that door
Touching, caressing its bark
In wonder.

Too far to hear my singing,
Caressing the silence elegantly
In this cold & barren land
Growing plants have just paused,
Even when you’re not looking.
Through a gust of wind
Your silence finally reaches me.
Now quiet, quite quiet here too
A tear might be au-rendez-vous,
Though frozen in the stillness;
Your gigantic eyes all blurry
Through my magnifying glass.
Still, I can now see you, and you me.

Within You is a World of Spring
by Alice Zawadzki
supported by 10 fans who also own “Blink”
No other album of anything close to this quality will be released before the end of the year, so I can safely say this really is one of the three best albums of 2019 (Brad Mehldau's 'Finding Gabriel' & Rachel Grimes' 'The Way Forth' are the other two). Wonderful compositions, gorgeous voice, superb musicianship #simplyfabulous
