Songwriting Workshop

Your words embody sound and your language form melody.

"Whatever language you speak 

with every word you learn

your thoughts dive deep 

a new fire starts to burn 

shedding light in the depth of the minds universe 

Start writing ...

to allow the blinds to observe"

Konstanthyme
