	Dedicated to all that is precious and frail ... to life itself. It is the very thing we tend to take for granted, until faced with the reality of our own physical mortality. ~ The title and lyrics were inspired by these thoughts and address the fine balance in danger of toppling out of sync, leaving us helpless, captive victims of a self-induced extinction. Many beauteous and fascinating life forms may come crashing down with us. We cannot allow this to happen! ~ Xyra sings, as if on wings, Andrew plays piano from heaven, Don Stapleson plays flutes on clouds, Fred Lieder bows celestial cello.

	Story Behind the Song The ghost of Edith Piaf begins a lyrical romance with Nico and Marlene Dietrich ... and they are asking from whence we came, where these gifts of music might take us, and who our guardian angels really are. Recorded in one take ... the lyrics contemplate the world in peril around us. ...:~:... While Goddesses are more than fashionable, there's a lot more to it than that ... a lot more at stake ... a lot more to learn ... All is not right in the sad world we observe, where few realize the seriousness of life's dilemmas. Does anyone have the answers? ...:~:... Lyrics Garden, empty garden Where glass birds fly Flowers disappearing Petals slowly die Wings that sound As winds over willows Weeping as I'm sleeping Above us - lonely sky Shadows of the moon Over sad one Sitting in her open tomb In a storm cloud watching, Machines obstruct And reconstruct the sky! With all her eyes The Goddess sees The nothingness . . . The message tossed . . . The lost apology . . . And your bird cannot fly with just one wing . . . Your bird cannot fly . . .
