nine woods in the cauldron feeding my desires
go tell my friends that i am on fire
they can go get their pliers and take the fillings from my teeth
see what they get out on the street
maybe a fix or something to eat
some shuffle the cards some shuffle their feet
while i row to the other side
across the shadows reservoir
we can look backwards and forwards
and not know where we are
there on the shore
tribes sing of fire and star
their tongues weave the lyric
their hands play guitar
beasts in the jungle
savage and raw
born of my sins they scratch and they claw
their way to the surface
for what ever their purpose
to overwhelm soft reality
kill us or curse us
still, I'm out on the lake
near catatonic
sky full of nightmares
water of onyx
mountains fall from the sky
the kingdom, it dies
children smoke the ashes and become all the more wise
in the name of the father we humbly pray
sky clad and injured
awaiting the day
monsters gnaw on the bones
in the shadows unknown
black mountain woman
she moans and she groans
on the day of the dove
the eagle has flown
i once was a child now i am stone
with compass and word
i search for the power
the elders watch on
from high in the tower
as i sail across the ocean
I'm paying the toll
i sacrifice everything
to rescue my soul

"I feel that art is not a skill or sharpened technique as much as it is just a part of nature.
Like gravity, electricity, light, wind, fire, water. Art is a form of energy. It's an element.
It's an extension of the creative consciousness of the Universe that constantly expands and runs through all matter. Some connect easily with the energy, others are not even aware of it. Whether you are a chef, tradesman, hairdresser, stay at home parent, farmer, engineer, etc., the creative force is working through you on all levels.
There is no separation of man and nature. We think, we create." — Mike O'Rourke
