For Robin. For all of us. Thank you for your trust in my skills and faith in me as a bard, my warrior sister.
Robin, a war veteran who also happens to be Trans, contacted me several months ago to commission a song. I asked her to give me every thought she could on how she wanted it to sound and what she wanted it to include. When the time came for the song to emerge, sitting with her words and my own page of notes in front of me, it poured out of me all in the same evening. I rarely accept song commissions, but I'm grateful I accepted this one.
To all of my witchy and Queer siblings, may these lyrics ring as true for you as they did for Robyn:
no shame can touch you,
even when the would-be monarchs wish it so, no.
Fire stands beside you, and love blazes brightly
everywhere we go.
Warriors, I see you.
Happy Halloween.
Love,
Sooj
