I drew this illustration for Zendik Tribe magazine in 1988. Being shared here for the first time since it was published in actual print! The poem was written by Wulf in the early 60s, and later used as lyrics to this track by me in 1987.

Won't count the things I've tasted
How far I've been wasted
Seeking my own self
Acid flowing in the wind
High in the mountain sky
'Cross the wide blue lake
What will a man do?
How much will he stake?
What will he take... to know what's true?
Acid flowing in the wind
Thru the tall knowing pine
An ancient shrine of eternal design
I bend to its glory
Yes, far from my weary city story
I kneel weeping and yessing
To this all knowing shrine of eternal design
And know this once I too am free
And I cry in god-like high
We were young you and I
And mountain summer rain thru green willing braches
Whispers gentle upon my face
Whispers, "forget the race, life itself is the only grace"
Acid flowing in the wind...
