Kings of Leon --- The Immortals

This song is such a great mood generator.  Makes me ready for combat (which usually takes place with pen and paper, or keyboard, involved).  They make those epic sounding songs in the same vein as bands such as Coldplay, U2, Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.  How can you not be a Kings of Leon fan?

My Journey Continues (Or Maybe, It Finally Begins)

Awakening

I have always been.

even when unaware,
I am a breathing lung,
an opening eye,
light raking slowly over
understanding’s horizon,
I have hung myself in darkness, for too long,
my lips remained idly parted for too long,
anticipating, eager but
madly uncertain
of how that which is
happens to begin

I have always been.

even in my stilted silence,
but now I cry out, defiant
moans replace whispers,
a commencement of screams
forms in my soul,
roaming this agitation,
I have stationed myself in idleness, for too long,
my feet have been fruitlessly anchored for too long,
impatient, willing but lacking direction
towards steps that are
already predestined
to be made

seeing,
listening,
understanding,

I have always been.




The Occasional Crazy Rare Quote # 5

"It is of course precisely in such episodes of mental traveling that writers are known to do good work, sometimes even their best, solving formal problems, getting advice from Beyond, having hypnagogic adventures that with luck can be recovered later on."

Perhaps my sleeplessness is good for my writing...lol.
