Exit stage left, my conscious mind
Cue the subconscious, for it is time to delve deep; this singular spotlight is yours alone
Lacrimosa, how symphonies crescendo and choirs swell, before they are cloaked and escorted to the background, hidden by velvet curtains softer than a lover’s forgiveness
In excelsis, glory be to this light which will return again, ten thousand fold and brighter than ever before
Phoenix of mine which flares between my heart and soul, you wrap your flames around my ribs, the fire setting alight a violent delight
Seraphim of darkness, your grin has already begun to melt from your lips, a candle whose wick has neared its drowning end
Enter stage right, Solaris, our hero in this Act II; stepping from the shadows at long last, your crown of gold blazing anew.

Vocal & my relationship to publishing traditionally
Ever since my small writing beginnings, when I started writing on Vocal in February 2021, I had been in a truly terrible slump & funk when it came to my writing. I had so many unfinished projects, ideas, half finished manuscripts and first chapters that were going nowhere.

I like the echo of the beginning in the end, and the holy/sacred imagery fits nicely with the idea of an eclipse as something otherworldly or mystical:)
Audience stands in unison, the applauds beckon more; " Encore! "
