hi everyone,

for those interested, you can visit http://www.inanemusic.tk/  to hear "Let Him Who Has Eyes See" put to alternative/heavy music.  For those who don't know what I'm talking about,  "Let Him Who Has Eyes See" is a poem I wrote on 07-05-01 and have posted at http://brainmeta.com/poems/poem26.html .

I've also reproduced it below!  :)


"Let him who has eyes see"


I recall the time
Long ago
When I raised the mirror of my life up to my face:
Twenty five years.
With a deliberate swing I smashed the reflection of my illusory self
And forever became one with the eternal Self.

Flying into a star,
Spiraling ever inwards towards the Source,
Universe unfolding before my gaze.
In vast, seething space I exalt and soar,
Bellowing thunderclaps.
Tis but the laughter of a god become Self-aware.

And now
I stand upon the corpses of Buddha and Jesus,
And all their saints,
Beheaded with my own blade.
Let the lightning strike where it will,
But know that I am the lightning.

Future made pregnant with my touch,
Universe convulsing under my Self-expression,
All beasts I let out,
Consuming worlds within my fiery mouth.
I am not born, I do not die.
Let him who has eyes see.

hey. I'm the guy who runs this site, and makes the music on it and stuff. I just dropped by to say thanks to shawn for making this post, and placing links for my site on www.mind-brain.com. oh... and some feedback on my site/music would be great. later!

hey, I have a tidbit of info on Shawn's Poetry/Lyrics :

"Whoever Shawn is, he should write more of the lyrics."

That was a comment by some guy from another messageboard I regularly post at. Haha... I'm a lousy lyricist... while Shawn is really good at it...

(I made a double post and didn't edit my last one because I had made the last one as a guest.)

Well thank you, skatemporas!  I'll tell you, when I read your post yesterday, it made my day, made me very happy indeed.   I've been experiencing something of a 'dry spell' with regard to composing poetry, but comments like yours (and your friends') are very inspiring, the sort of stuff that can break dry spells.

Thank you again,
Shawn
