Proving to be a funny month so far, Terry Pratchett yesterday, and local legendary keyboard player Mike Vaughan - Jones yesterday, and friends dear friend the lawrence the day before and today I awake to find that another inspiration of mine had gone travelling again too. Daevid Allen the wizard of Oz himself, had been aware of approaching plans for destinations anew for a bit, so had already prepared a little. Anyway thank you Daevid, now allow me to release this poem
You Can't Kill The Spirit
A long time ago,
wandering on another planet,
a mystical magic poet,
came down to visit us,
with some epiphany
some floating anarchy,
threads of absurdity
messages of freedom,
seeds of dadaist imagination
to plant, to help us unravel,
the world's long slumber.
Would travel off into the future
but would always return,
with messages of love and devotion
releasing senses of wonder,
that giggled through life and beyond
glimmering along the mazes of purpose,
conjurer, delivered memories of joy
allowed laughter to rain down,
as om shantis sigh
glides with moonlights kiss,
among glissando slides
crackling,towards
faithful wish.
Revelations and enlightenment
reveal revolutions, every day now,
revolving around our skins
our beauty stands against governments,
all over the world, different cultures
shout, float, seek alternatives,
choose not to kill the earth,
cast layers of protection over sky.
And transitory psychonauts
create illusions, for you and I,
to share, improvisational
rhythmic.musical explosions,
that lift us, higher.
We will continue to refuse their orders
break through their cordons,
we will snakedance over their forcefields
run wild and free, fuelling truth,
vision wide and full of intent
satoris invisible tempo soars on high,
as the day beats, on and on and om
you can't kill the spirit.
Excellent poem. R.I.P Daevid Allen, a fine inspiration in my life too.
