It is with great pleasure and privilege that through song I offer my unique expression. Themes of Love, Longing, and Hope are rooted in the on-going support received from my circle of gifted songwriters. ~ Raven

My contribution to all the songwriters out there who are offering their art to the world in a time of heartache, challenge, and uncertainty.
Without Words
This song is a reflection of the final words my mother left me before she passed away. A tender and loving reminder that our loved ones are never beyond our grasp. We simply have to learn to connect “Without Words”.

When you wish upon a star
makes no difference where you are
I’ll reach out to you, in ways that seem new
Trust your senses gaze into the stars…. I won’t be far
Seasons will come and they’ll go
No different from before
Except that we won’t speak through words anymore…..I’ll send the wind
Hear my voice in the falling leaves
let them caress your bro
A silent kiss from a butterfly
The rays of a rising sun
The soothing shade of a willow tree
to heal the pain…..Then I’ll send rain
Liquid pearls come falling down tapping a lullaby
My gift to you on this stormy night
to quench your thirsty heart
A womb of darkness sways you into sleep…. Where you can dream
Seasons will come and they’ll go
No different from before
Except that we won’t speak through words anymore
Silent seeds beneath the ground, cloaked by fallen snow
Awakened by the morning light
Just as the year before for they like you will bloom and dance……once more
When you wish upon a star makes no difference where you are
I’ll reach out to you, in ways that seem new
Trust your senses gaze into the stars…. I won’t be far
Little Girl
Every woman holds a younger version of herself deep within. A voice of truth and innocence, delicate, yet courageous and strong. “Little Girl” calls us home to a place ‘where Ravens sing’ where we are free to embrace and celebrate the women we were meant to be.

Recorded by Haggarty Sound Studio (Peterborough, Ont.)
A little girl sits waiting, generations whisked away
Longing to live the truth of her people and their ways
Stored tightly in the woman’s body with secrets of elders before
A girl with wisdom to share will be silenced no more
A little girl sits all alone in her forest chair. She holds the Spirit of the wind
Nothing to despair
She is confident and caring and sweetly sings along
With Nature and all living things healing with her song
She waits for you where Ravens sing
In a place of green, she waits for you. She waits…. for you
How can she comfort and guide her, when only fear and pain reside?
A woman who sits in judgement and will only criticize
She claims that she is not able to heal or make good
and believes that her people will never be understood
She waits for you where Ravens sing
In a place of green, she waits for you. She waits…. for you
Anger turns to pain. Tied up in a world gone wrong
A chance for the little girl to heal the woman through her song
She waits for you where Ravens sing
In a place of green, she waits for you. She waits…. for you
A little girl sits all alone in her forest chair. She holds the Spirit of the wind
Nothing to despair
She is confident and caring and sweetly sings along
With Nature and all living things healing with her song
She waits for you where Ravens sing
In a place of green, she waits for you. She waits…. for you

First Voice
In 2007, I made my very first recordings with my brother in his studio on the Sunshine Coast, BC Canada. While enjoying the natural wonders such a beautiful place offers, we were able to realize the birth of my very first set of recorded songs. I had since never publicly released them until now where I have made them available here for you to enjoy; it’s with pleasure that I am able to share the results of this process with you.
