Creative Spot - New song by Mahendra (Speedy) Gonsalkorale
This is a lovely new song by Speedy. He himself has composed the music, written the lyrics, provided accompaniment on his Yamaha, rendered his own beautiful voice and recorded it with fitting visuals. I wonder whether it qualifies for the Guinness Book of Records! As you can see, it is a "Speedy" original and not a copy or imitation.
What versatility! What creativity!
The song is called "Your image is etched in my heart"

Creative Spot - A poem by Mahendra (Speedy) Gonsalkorala
Fear
The brakes screech on
Sweat pours down
Halt the march now!
Uncertainty grips vow!
Confidence lost oh woe
Anxiety spreads head to toe
Dark clouds gather
The light gets dimmer
Heart thumps madly
Chest heaves rapidly
Fear grips me like a vice
Frozen stiff, a block of ice
Fear comes through ignorance
Fear the greatest hindrance
Fear curtails clear vision
Fear leads to desolation
Fear clouds judgement
Fear, the supreme impediment

Creative Spot - Mangala Mohotha by Zita Perera Subasinghe
The all time favourite "Mangala Mohotha", originally sung by Mignonne Fernando of The Jetliners. This is an instrumental done in typical Zita style. According to her, it is an old recording with new visuals. Enjoy!

Creative Spot - Ave Maria by Zita (Perera) Subasinghe
Music was done by Zita several years ago. But she had arranged the visuals a couple of days ago. I thought this would be a good way to start the month of December when Christians around the world will be celebrating Christmas.
