…the dress hugged her body like a child to mother’s bosom, comforting every curve…
hair and makeup skillfully applied, grand masterpiece of illusion…
…emotion stood, enticing in streetlight halo, shroud draped and steadfast…
weeks of wear, broken blockade signals fear, knight in shining armor…
…deliverance offered, rescue shines, blinding blue…
secure in silent suffering… grand masterpiece of illusion

Thanks so much, Chris. “Mood” music for sure, eh? lol
This was one of those times when you stumble on some music and find your Six in it.

Can I be The Last in line, with Paul,Z, Clark?
Witchery it is…what else than magic can it be when you tap into conciousness!
And the cherry on top, the growling blues riffs…ahhh
(To emphasize the impact of your Six, I had to go out in the snow in search of an open place to get a cigar!
It demanded clouds of swirling smoke, milady!! )

I’m glad you found it so, D. Might I suggest you cue the song again or 3 or 4. Close your eyes.. and allow the story to unfold.
