I hold my hands out to you, Oh sweet terrible one Terrifying love... Coming up over you now, There's nothing can stop that now Terrifying love… You held such beauty, Oh how we watched you, We watched you travel, You traveled over these bodies, Bodies of water, We watched you prepare for your journey, We knew you’d be leaving This body, Your body, Oh how you traveled to spiraling cathedrals, High mountain tops and times of old Black Owls, Owls and Spiders All in your head Black Owls, Owls and Spiders All over your body You spoke in Tongues of Old, Tongues of Old, You called us, You called all of your children to your bedside, You held us, You held us over your body You called the Mothers, All of the Mothers, Mothers, Mothers…. They floated beside us, Over your body, Over our bodies Black Owls, Owls and Spiders All in your head Black Owls, Owls and Spiders All over your body We bathed you, We knew you’d be leaving this place, Believe me, Oh believe me we will all be leaving This plane, Your face as you listened to birds, Two spiders in the window. Casting spells of protection for all your children, We held you, All of your beauty was terrifying, This Love. Then you left your body, We held each other and said our farewell to our Mother Earth. Then we spread flowers over your body, Over your eyes, Light all around, Drumbeat of heart wood in rhythmic sound, We watched them carry away your body, Away with your body We mourned, we still mourn. Now you’re a flower in my garden, In our gardens Black Owls, Owls and Spiders All in your head Black Owls, Owls and Spiders All in our hearts...

Take me to the Mountain My blood and bones belong Spirit, open This Mortal Coil Unwinding, awaiting you there, In the darkness, unwinding A place that cannot be seen But is felt hanging there And will be forever Forever in the ether Longing for whats long past Wanting whats long gone For nothing lasts It will pass Everything fades Before it turns to black Be with me here now By the fireside This isn’t meant to last Embrace me now Before our blood dries And our bones turn to dust For nothing lasts Nothing lasts Before i lay my bones barren Be with me here and now

Latona Odola is at once a mournful celebration of darkness, ever seeking the gold within the shadows through soliloquy and the summoning of silence...
