Email up, and a song

Update: The song is finished.

The email should be functional again!

On another note, here’s a song I’ve had for a while. I don’t know for sure what the coda is yet, but I have an idea.

Ariel (Landing)

I’m learning to live again on land

I don’t expect you to understand

where I’m from – the water’s warm on my skin

I miss my sisters, and the gentle men

The music of voices along the coast

The silence as you face the lonely shore

With treasures from the sea held in your hand

They say on land, you can dance all night

But I didn’t know it would be so cold

And I don’t know where I’m going, just what I am

I’m a wreck

I’m learning to live again on land

And it hurts every time I take a step

My feet are split, and my skin’s so dry

But I’m getting better

learning to live on land

I’m learning to live again on land

There’s a place at the table and people I know

are calling my name, but my heart is set

It is mine to bear, so I’m learning

to live again on land

I walk on two legs

And I dance.
