The song which began the transformation 1/1/2021 remained unfinished until 2024. This was its resting place, as a “poem"…
I’m the one who breaks the fall
The weight of Jacob’s ladder
I’m the mason’s cornerstone
Who laid the tower of Babel
I’m the one who leaves the tongue
When all the words are scattered
I’m the language of the world
The only one that matters
[water]
I’m a wake washing a wave
Which walks upon all water
[air]
I’m the breath you share
The heir to thrones of your forefathers
[fire]
I’m your Sun who feeds the wheat
You leave your sheep for fodder
[earth]
I’m the earth on which you lead
Your feast unto their slaughter
[& then came energy… unfathomable, unexplainable, unbelievable… energy…]
ON OCTOBER 8, 2024, I COMPLETED THe SONG, RECORDING PIANO/VOCALS LIVE-TO-VIDEO WITH MIDI-STRING OVERDUBS. HERE ARE THE ADDITIONAL LYRICS:
I’m the dreamer and the dream
Lucid and illusive
I’m beyond and in between
Conclusive and confusion
I’m the mind behind the eye’s
Infirmities and fictions
Adversity’s the bread I serve
With waters of affliction
I Am movement and repose
Beyond defeat and triumph (∞ Æther ∞)
I’m the song of David
And the tears of Jeremiah (∞ anahata ∞)
I’m the threefold harmony
Accompanying your silence
I’m the melody
Mortality could not keep quiet
I’m the goats and I’m the sheep
Hardened and whole-hearted
I’m the wheat and I’m the weeds
I form light and darkness
I’m the One who learns to fly
By falling into motion
I’m the Joy which must be sung
The name which can’t be spoken
I’m the One in All
Forever hiding in the moment
Where all will be revealed,
Renewed, restored and reawoken
