Religious Connotations
musical suggestions—unaware of the source, yet convinced of a transmission from "above" sacred musings or random subconscious garbage flowingThis tension between divine inspiration and psychological noise reflects the fundamental uncertainty in creative experience—are artistic insights transcendent communications or neurological patterns seeking meaning?
for wisdom, it floweth from a river, so divine can't decipher the light from the noises the signal is distant, the vision is clear
the effervescent "Here & Now" beacons me, harking me towards the light of the tempest — I'm lost in the SOUND!
certain artists light the way — their music their soul's song making it's way deep into your Psyche we are all connected — it's been said
internal rhyme books, encoding our triumphs, our losses, our fanciful flights
doesn't make us right — about our true nature or about silly things that matter notThe poem concludes with characteristic humility—even mystical experiences and artistic insights don't guarantee understanding of fundamental truths or discernment about what truly matters in human existence.
