This is my confession...

I consider myself a stained-glass window. And this is how I live my life. Closing no doors and covering no windows; I am the multi-coloured glass with light filtering through me, in many different shades. Allowing light to shed and fall into a variety of hues. My job is not to direct anything, but only to filter into many colours. My answer is destiny and my guide is joy. And there you have me.


A free bird leaps on the back of the wind and floats downstream till the current ends and dips his wing in the orange suns rays and dares to claim the sky. But a bird that stalks down his narrow cage can seldom see through his bars of rage his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing. The caged bird sings with a fearful trill of things unknown but longed for still and his tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird sings of freedom. The free bird thinks of another breeze and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn and he names the sky his own. But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing.
