Whence
My friend Matt Chambliss did this art and then asked me to write something. that is my favorite way to create. It's kinda like jazz improv in that what happens between people is unpredictable and always produces something that one could not have predicted. I wrote a poem and read it to him. But it did not end there. He went away and came up with some basic musical elements that we put together in this recording. I was in a metaphysical/philosophical mood. We had been talking about some trippy stuff related to Creation, where we came from and where we are heading. This is the result.
Stillness stirs
Blackness blinks
The Universe tastes like purple
Fragrant with Blue
I hear White being broken
And the myriad songs of her children
Motion merges with spirit, Emotion Emerges
Creating the syntax of pattern
Form, word, construct, measurement
The Unthought Known arises
Aware that I awaken
I know, yet know that I do not
Separate and One at once
I am a flame ever-changing, ever the same
In the Beginning was the Word
But I am made from before the Beginning
From Whence I came and to Whence I return

Thank you.
I am curious about Matt's art. Is it a painting? Mixed media? Digital?
As usual, your words take time for me to digest but I always do enjoy tasting and smelling colors! ;)
I think it is a combination of traditional art and digital mixed somehow. Its just a paradox. Nothing fancy. :)
Oh yes, the poetry itself takes me on a Journey, and the soundscape really brings me places. My mind surrenders to my heart, ready to feel and explore these royal color tones that carry me to from some mysterious Point A to some mysterious Point B. Thank you for this expansive entry in the Steemit Vision Quest.
Thank you for your kind attention. Your resonance with the work is most encouraging. :)
