{LYRICS}
[Intro]
This poetry is about, 'very in the spotlight'.
[Chorus 1]
The pain that no one could see...
the world was ablaze,
in some kind of power struggle;
to be seen but not seen.
[Fill]
[Chorus 2]
Adjusting perception.
[Instrumental]
Power came from that global illusion;
sometimes too much and or not enough[Not Enough]
[Down Tempo]
sometimes being ostracised for lack of power,
or too much[Too Much]
or treated as the subject of some horrible mental lie[Horrible]
[Instrumental]
[Chorus 3]
Missing, lost, forgotten, and tossed,
Now everything, now everything[Everything]
Is gone, gone, gone...
[Pre Chorus]
Yet existence intensifies,
almost seen by everyone's eyes,
We're going blind, behind, bind, bound, gone [Gone]
[Instrumental]
Any day it will slowly die[Today]
Missing. goodbye[Goodbye]
[Chorus 4]
Yet the memory never dies, it will be a surprise;
Unwanted, downsized.
Yet remains; dead and not dead,
Boxed up

I am living proof the world ain't perfect
Somehow, sometimes, always, never
The seasons of imperfection.
Require no reflection.
Deflection, rejection, no direction.
Just thought I'd mention.
I see it more every day
You know… either way
The gifted are rising to the surface
Of Human correction
Place, face, race, taste
All are finding their place
Amongst the most challenging;
Human ability to adapt, adopt, evolve
My most regretful resolve
I am closer to dissolving
Than Earth in heavy rain
Satisfaction, positive action
I am humbled in my own Faction
Outclassed, on the team
Coaches thought I did seem
To have talent
Never relent.
Rejections all I had sent
My band played in my basement
Another life have but too show
Forward it did seem
A carpenter born in me
Creating indelible art
Music still played in my head
Too saturate, like it rained
Took rule book, learned, played to win
An amazing amount of years
This season, and another...
Some
I stand alone at the end of time,
the end time for Earth.
Everything is bathed in crimson red light
I stand in an amphitheatre.
I have no recall ever dreaming this before
Or again since.
The memories remain fully form
I even still see the red amphitheatre
Memory dream, relived regularly
An Avatar hovered toward me.
It is also bathed in total red.
I realise I'm dead.
The Avatar offered comfort,
explaining what I was seeing.
Miles of information stored in small "cards"
Lineages descendants children,
and the parents of all of these
I asked what my Legacy would be?
A single image hovered before.
I was stunned; it listed my entire family
and children born since.
I decided not to look, that information
Could be harmful.
The Avatar assured me the last of my
Descendants were only phantoms from other lives.
I woke up, stunned staring caring fearing.
My life is my own
I did not need validation,
Under the massive heat of the
red giant Sol a mere million of miles away;
I decided

Tracing patterns in our skulls
The hipshot is most reliable
Yet flawed
We enter the room so full of incense
Eyesight was limited to about a foot in length
Its scent reminded us to
Relax and gather strength
A powerful yet unknown song
Began on original vinyl
The rhythm was droning
A Baritone so low it was barely perceptible
Provided opening verse
So too did the surrounds
Begin to come apart
The dust from deep in our hearts
Repaired with broken parts
When did it all start
The early models summarily
Were decommissioned
Rebuilt
Repaired
Hidden circles trace spiral patterns
The human mind too flawed to read
Familiar verse
The Baritone did sing
Of unseen things
Unknown things
Hidden or repurposed
Yes this is the one
Empty Box empty
Yet another
Boon
Not at
All too
Soon.
Salt of my skin
There is power deep within
Salt of the sea
Connects you and me
Salt of the Earth
From the land given birth
Oceans so wide
Their strength lies in the tide
Brought to us too soon
By the influence of the moon
Chasms of wonder
Lead skies crisscrossed with thunder
Memories so deep
Imbued in the mementos we keep
Salt of my skin
There is power deep within
Salt of the sea
Connects you and me
Salt of the Earth
From the land given birth
Salt of the air
There are crystals in your hair
Salt of the fire
Magnesium rains hot desire
Salt of your face
Transforms me through time and space
Oceans so green
Is there enough time in the machine
To escape the locks
Of unreasoning road blocks
The immeasurable boulder
Can be conquered shoulder to shoulder
The sun in sky
We can ascend to on high
Salt of my skin salt of the air
There is power from within crystals in your hair
Salt of the sea Salt of the fire
Connects you and me in one desire
Salt of the
The trees sway in the wind, summer
then to fall, on into winter,
another year comes to a close.
The window pane painted with frost
as snow is due, and a soft fire
sings by. The heart wonders as eyes
watch bystanders outside, walk by
all bundled up. People live out
their lives, normal in their hidden
mysteries. What do they do? Where
do they go? Who do they most love?
The mind wanders off near and far
as winter begins to fall. Tell
me your stories until the snow
covers our world, speak of those small
hopes and passing thoughts. Soon, the land
will sleep in the cool white confines
of frozen time. Peace will arrive
as stories begin on soft sounds
that almost rhymes. How time just flies.
Are those lights on the sea?
Strange how they dance, is it a boat
that falls on the waves tonight, no.
This is an old power,
up then down, side to side, away
it now flies. Fairy lights that dance
on the night, forgotten
rhythms of another age return
while standing on this shore. Alone,
I watch. Alone, I stand.
Will they just play above the sea
or will the Gentry come to sing?
There is no fear, no sound
other than the waves. What is this?
Why return in antiquated
form with such gentle wings
of snow? I do not know, no one
truly knows the answer you show.
Some have said you are souls
lost without form, caught on a wind
that will guide you onto new shores.
Others name you devil,
of tricksters kin, who lure children
to that unseen country and sin.
Reason and wonder call
the mind to pull on the corners
of some rhyme now lost to the mind.
Yet, I nor you can say
we know or remember the right
way. So, they dance above the spray.
heck out the larger version of Abstract-4 I'm new here and just getting to know my way around the community. So, I didn't see where I could upload the original 3,000 by 2,000 size, but now that has been remedied.
