For Mother Earth

Mother Earth

From mother earth I fly,

Bathing in the unknown blackness of the universe,

Detached from the illusions my eyes force upon me,

Engolfing myself in the nothingness of love,

For mother earth i cry,

As I see man with his tools digging at her skin,

Poisning her conciousness with the stentch of war and blood,

forcing her to watch her children raped for their dignity,

To mother earth I lie,

Convincing her our future is not that of fire and disease,

Soothing her tears with the unbrella of my faith,

Paching her wounds with the seeds of her innocence,

With mother earth I die,

Slowly evaporating from the naked eye into internal existence,

Glowing brightly in the covered grave of my ancesters,

Releasing my flame from the flesh of hell that enslaves it,

From mother earth i fly!

awe, true but emotionally sad, it says so much and expresses so much in a different perspective and sense of eye. Good read!

[Mirage The Illusionist]

I like the bond of Earth in this. Our bodies spring forth from the earth and return just the same. But the spirit goes on its own way. I'd like to go to one of your shows one day I know what it's like to do the tour. Robert Frost said it best about the hard road. Keep at it, whether poems or lyrics, keep yourself sane in this mad world.

[Mirage The Illusionist]

Thanks brotha! I'm trying to spread the message

[Gedalya]

No problem, just don't sell out by pulling a Beiber-Youtube thing. lol Take the hard road, it'll make all the difference.

[Mirage The Illusionist]

Hahaha o yea not for me! Lol

Funny thing is, after I abandoned my band and studio projects, (my drummer died and bassist left state) I began focusing on Classical Compositions, and such. . . Well, I was offered by two Universities to teach, one was in Nashville. So, even if the hard road proves too difficult, it appears there are alternatives. Make connections, with local radio and with local venues, and you may end up playing in something like The Grand Ole Opry (which ironically, I had the opportunity), You may get to meet some legends like I did. So, it has it's perks. I use to distribute CD copies, and program or (analog record) music for other musicians which helped me survive, you should consider that as well. There are so many things that people often don't consider. . .

[Mirage The Illusionist]

Thanks alot for the advice brotha!

[Gedalya]

No problem, later or something, I'll have to send you a few prototypes of some stuff I've been doing lately (for recreation).

I-am-in-awe. This poem gives me an image of a shimmering crystal situated in a dark grotto, alone but bright and thereby perceptible, opposed to the common rock. Just stunning and unique.

[Mirage The Illusionist]
