BERRIED DEEP

Berries cover the
shrubs like dewy blankets; peace

My latest publication explores the propensity for our prayers to become selfish and includes an original #poem in the form of a sonnet which seeks to shine a light on God's wellbeing instead of ours. Link below: matthewwhitewords.substack.com/p/does-anyone-… #amwriting 🖋️🙏

It’s been ages since I shared any #NewMusic so it’s apt that this song is released today on December 27th (my parents’ wedding anniversary). “For My Father” was written in 2022 in the aftermath of Dad’s sudden passing at Christmastime in 2021. Out now on all the platforms! 🎶
