Jimi Shiva

Jimi Shiva

A Poem by Duncan Brown

The mighty lord of all creation

Danced through time and infinite space

Across the barren unlit heavens

Until he reached the chosen place

Where nothing moved and inertia reigned

A universe shackled to silent pain

Without a past and bereft of future

A world of sound unheard and sight unseen

His long locks shimmering with pure light

A threat to endless fathomless night

With a guitar slung by his left side

The silence stared and emptiness glared

And threatened death if he even dared

Disturb the nothingness with that sound

Or illuminate heaven with that hair

The player looked at the glare and said

“Suit yourself and see if I care

I’ll play this thing like you’re not there

That’s why I’m here an’ that’s why I’ll dare

And that’s why I’ve got this long locked hair”

Then struck that chord and made that sound

And shook his long locked luminous crown

Scattering stars across the empty universe

While guitar music filled the empty void

And luminous harmonies blasted ignorance

Like it wasn’t even there or anywhere

A veil was lifted and a leaden cloak fell

Light was everywhere and sound as well

And that’s a story that all can tell

Eden’s Eden but Rock ‘n’ Roll’s creation

An’ the electric guitar damns damnation

The Mighty Lord is a long locked player.
