Ok this #song has three titles.
Yes.
Just, Could not pick only one.
It was also born from a life story, like all my songs,
But this one echoes with the name of my friend,
Videl Diaz Mariscal.
I dedicate the song to Videl,
and to his #community, our #sisters and #brothers.
I’m releasing it with the other “singles” ahead of the album, as a shoutout / love letter to “The #Dreamers” here and every-where.
To the Dreamer in your own soul.
In Memory of Videl Diaz Mariscal,
A “Saint” i met in the “ #CityofAngels ”
and
for Videl’s brothers + sisters
Videl is gone too soon at a local hospital, …
where I sang him this song on his deathbed.
A moment for which I am grateful.
Videl grew gardens for an apartment complex in the “city of the angels”
He planted a white Lily on his last Christmas here.
Videl was ALWAYS smiling … his eyes smiled even when his mouth looked serious … his energy was glowing with that very special light.
Besides the gardening, he also cleaned the bathrooms + swept the grounds there too,
and
Videl was my friend.
When he told me they had put him on some Meds, he sheepishly showed me the bottle … I am not a doctor, but I perceived instantly that this was not a good sign … personally I try to maintain health with food and healthy habits. Of course Videl was old enough to be my grandpa or even great grandpa, but … still, I could do nothing to interfere with his doctors’ prescription … and frankly, I doubt he had health insurance, so I was clueless about what was going on … OH, and he barely spoke English, so … we communicated mostly non-verbally ….
I still wish I could have saved his life some-how … ctd ~>
