A Collaboration: Don't Explain

"Don't Explain"
© Deb Brown


Hush now, you don't have to explain.

There is little to gain in this rain of pain.

Please, I am still yours.



It doesn't matter when you are with me - right or wrong.

Tears and chatter don't matter.

I'm glad you're back.

You don't have to explain.

About This Collaboration:
Debo is one of those great expressive spirits that, depending on their form of expression (singer, dancer, painter, writer, etc.), we call an artist. She radiates and symbolizes an original energy. You know what they say about original things? They only come around only once, so enjoy them. So I hope you enjoy Debo and her visual energy as much as I do.

As we rose from temptation upon the wings of knowledge, knowing and light
We were born into the sacred dimension of the gods, ancestors and saints
Where the stories of God are made manifest in our rise and fall
