"All The Searchers..."

Finding our way...

A friend described going “clubbing” at 2 AM or such all over town (if you can call London, New York, L.A., Miami, Prague, Tel Aviv, Rotterdam, Paris, Moscow - and such any and every WHERE - “town”).  She and so many others describe and define the scenes.  The various houses being ROCKED - floors so packed tight, lights arcing, flashing, splashing -  the “world” moves to their jumps, reachings, slams, jerking and turns, pressing …hell even breathing.  All - a life staggering, surreal but happening - as the sounds of the worldbeat flow through-and-through their bodies and existence! 

Seduction comes in many forms -

heat flows as we feel the need,

and when the fingers tighten HARD

is when we KNOW what we want

and where - and how...and there IS

no whys ...anymore.

 

“All The Searchers…”

 

Reading you aloud...

the background your sound - your call,

the echoes

its echoes -

swirling,

surrounding...

 

And still the flight follows -

paths and corners racing...

the taste of blood rising

and the sightless moving

...jounces, flies, falls

rising riding currents

 

I CAN see...

finally, fleetly ...moments to eternity...

one-by-one cascading -- drawing,

beckoning,

GRASPING tight.

 

I know being alive ...now. 

The sheer existence within a breath. 

What it IS to FEEL my heartbeat pause

...and know little deaths.

 

We live for the taste of forever...

and search the barren worlds of all the ethers

- ever looking, ever reaching -

through the tears of BEING

...to find who we are.

 

and sometimes...

just        sometimes

- we really do find -

the WHO and see

the where we ARE meant to BE!  

And there are no ...words...

anymore…

anymore

 

The flow carries us...

enwraps and closes

and tightens

...tighter still...

and we -

we - ARE…are

...finally home.

ARE

Finally …finally

Home…

 

Yes …please

 

Chris

I love that you've used this music as a vehicle for your subject. Very, very clever and I'm sure not as easy as you make it seem. Hat's orf to you sir....and now I wanna go clubbing haha

[Jack Cassidy]

I loved it. The rhythm is well established and your work has a great sense of excitement to it... The words really jump out at you as a result... Great job.

Our search for our selves never ends and sometimes we find our true selves in the unlikeliest of places and we realize we are home! A very gripping read with great pace and narration! Thanks for sharing this enlightening read.

What an amazing read that really offered a different view of finding one's self and some soul searching in a sense. Reading this out loud with the music created a visual journey which just added to the moment.

[Emerald Seas]

You are a master of bring the moment alive in your writings. The smallest detail, breath brought to life to experience, as in this piece as well, Chris. Excellent penning, my friend.

Where the pain in the soul becomes pain in the head. I never could get over the loss of personal space. Great time reading to the music though, loved it :)

[emmajoy]

it's the heat of music, of thought, of action - of just being within something greater, more powerful than - Self. Finding that Self in a different guise, on a different plane and - loving what you find inside and about, especially if it lasts and lasts and - you only very, very slowly come .. down .. to .. earth .. and find .. the place .. where .. you want to be.

' .. and sometimes... just sometimes - we really do find - the WHO and see the where we ARE meant to BE! ~ And there are no ...words... anymore… anymore '

one does not have to go so far as London or NYC to be seduced and find that what was seen as high flight was really a death spiral into the chaos of a vortex.. if one is very lucky.. they may find.. HOME.. but it may look very different then the way one expects.. your words along with the music touched me in many places..

Read aloud, this throbs....so much soul searching...no wonder humans feel as though they have ran a marathon at times...softly smiles....you know my thoughts on this love...incredible xx
