Susan’s words “still we battle while we’re praying” pierced me and wouldn’t leave me alone. The imagery of her Path of Glass works kept ringing in my head.

I started with Free Mickey’s works, found Ana by Bless, and started chopping. Vieux Farka Touré’s vocals sounded like praying to me. Lots of slicing, cutting, treating. This mix was a big challenge for me. It sounds better in headphones I think.

I hope Susan doesn’t mind the cutting and re-arranging I did to make things fit. Very emotional stuff.

Peace.

Shattered
by Sackjo22

our shattered dreams say it all
nightmares bring transformation
still our children bleed
from their worldly wounds
still we battle
while we’re praying
our shattered dreams say it all

a shattered mirror
the path of glass glistens
the shards are piercing

glass glistens
shattered reflections
broken path
sun glistens

pierced mirror
glass glistens
broken path
of reflections

pierced mirror
glass glistens
a shattered mirror
the path of glass
glistens

our shattered dreams say it all

still we battle
still we battle
still we battle
battle
while we’re praying
