The Dynamics of Groove

fall back into the light

Dreaming On the soundscape Journey is composed of a million pictures linked together by a single word Sonically sleeping in piles of leaves and scented flowers and euphoria A dream pushing me along as I chase the light Journey on the train Shadows painted fluttering across my eyes and I blink from the sun From…
