| Biography |
The mysterious, the passionate, the desirous, the thunderous, the dark and bittersweet melancholia, poignant poetic enactments, the exquisite and most secret are some of the things that could describe From the Secret Garden. This is a vehicle for everything delicately enchanting and beautiful, very much like an etching by Gustav Dore's Elaine. FTSG is like a moth attracted to the fire, its light and love, spelled passionately without any conditions, nor constrains, but with one and only principle that beauty cannot be compromised.
Whose skin shall not touch sin?
Whose day is silk from when
The suns to moons begin
You could change this concrete jungle
Into a jasmine garden
This noise to mandolins and violins
See. It all begins within.
Oh the angels walk among us
Dressed like average people
We come across them in ways we can’t imagine
One word of wisdom,
A breath of consolation,
A wing and a prayer
Givers of sweet dreams to free us from this prison
They tell us stories from the secret garden.
And when the angels think
We are awakened from our slumber,
And when the angels speak
Our destiny is revealed.
When the angels dance
We hear the sound of thunder,
When the angels sing
Our mental wounds are healed.
And when the angels stare
The waves are thrown asunder,
And when the angels cry
Our sorrows know no pardon,
When the angels sleep
Our dreams are signed and sealed
When the angels came
From the secret garden.
