## 🧠 ABOUT THE PROCESS

I transformed my original poem by adapting it into lyrics that were then used for a song generated using Suno, featuring my voice. Below you’ll find part of the original poem, the revised lyrics, and the musical version.

## 📜 ORIGINAL POEM

Born from a dream of geological collapse and rising oceans, "In Trailing Backwards" follows a journey through submerged worlds, hidden truths and strange evolutions where survival demands transformation. Part vision, part prophecy and part dream journal, this piece explores the cyclical nature of time, consciousness and becoming.

She calls me
The dark blue Mother
Her voice soft
Piercing Time
The inflexions in the rhyme
Depicting morrows

## ✍️ ADAPTED LYRICS

[Verse]
She calls me, the dark blue Mother
Depicting morrows to smother
Her voice so soft keeps piercing Time
pointing to inflexions in rhyme

[Verse]
The false lords, they carry baskets
Weight of grapes, slowing necks’ faucets
Craning into swirling voids stored
where the twirling Time stills no more

[Verse]
He said it slowly, undeterred
by the chattering of the herd
scattering in pain slow to leak
Silent watch as it unfolds bleak

[Verse]
They pay high, sins of the father
Price in veins that flow grey lather
Squandering remains of day dreads
when teetering crowns mistook heads

[Chorus]
We will fly when the waters wane
into skies where twin suns slow strain,
beckon to purple landscapes sealed
In trailing backwards, truth revealed

[Verse]
The waters, they surge above bridge
crashing on the outer dams’ ridge
The rims fade into crumbling sands
of Humanity’s peaks’ wetlands

[Verse]
Slaves hurry to their sunken graves
for undone evils their mouth craves
Their feet so sore from the walking
their inane dark mouths still talking

[Verse]
Three by three, they pair uneven
Their tales dead like roadkill leaden
As the blue-green graveyards thunder
sealing them forever under

[Verse]
Ingrained roots of loving solace
They bring to us Salvation’s grace
stored in the bubbles that we share
The grown gills opening to air

[Chorus]
We will fly when the waters wane
into skies where twin suns slow strain,
beckon to purple landscapes sealed
In trailing backwards, truth revealed

## 📜 ORIGINAL POEM

Suspended between remembrance and renewal, the poem follows a wandering consciousness through seasons of loss, illness, faith, and transformation. Ships sink, trees are felled, and Time gathers its harvest, yet beneath every ending another beginning quietly stirs. It is a meditation on the hidden self that emerges through change—the changeling waiting beyond the horizon of who we once believed ourselves to be.

Sinking ships
Into oblivion
They seep slow
Like white ink
Inverted Chinese painting
Drawing my heart’s lines

[Verse]
Sinking ships into oblivion
They seep slow into remission
Like white ink drawing my heart’s vines
inverted Chinese painting lines

[Verse]
The winter crawled up in my spring
In Ending lies the Beginning
Unreachable changeling in Times
morphing through Historical rhymes

[Chorus]
Renewed consumption lungs boiling
They will me frozen chants curdling
upon the lips lost in stark pleas
The bent chest heaving with the wheeze

[Verse]
Church bell chimes my viscosities
seeping strong through the praying knees
The hands now sunken thunderbolts
in altars’ steep wells stir revolts

[Verse]
I am tree flying high in skies
The clouds whisper to me deep sighs
of forgotten times stored in wells
Woodcutter my proud branches fells

[Verse]
As the ground gathers falling bunch
the avid jaws of Time now crunch
remnants of my bark in bustle
Withered leaves count pages’ rustle

[Chorus]
Renewed consumption lungs boiling
They will me frozen chants curdling
upon the lips lost in stark pleas
The bent chest heaving with the wheeze

## 📜 ORIGINAL POEM

This poem reflects upon the rebuilding of the self through spiritual guidance in the aftermath of suffering, loss and inner fragmentation. Through symbolic imagery rooted in metamorphosis and transformation, it explores how pain may become not a force of annihilation, but a catalyst for renewal, resilience and the gradual reintegration of the soul spark through acceptance of change.

Rebirth’s toil
Reinventing self
Gathering
The remnants
Low hanging fruit of cluster
Like diamond pendants

## ✍️ ADAPTED LYRICS

[Verse]
Rebirth’s toil, reinventing self
low hanging fruit of cluster’s shelf
Gathering the dangling remnants
floating bright like diamond pendants

[Verse]
Aftermath resounding silence
Rebuilding through essence guidance
Core remembering the absent
leftover decoration spent

[Chorus]
Seamless the stitch so don’t ask why
Metamorphosis: Walk, Swim, Fly
Change swift with the hammering tides
by Spirit’s grace meek soul abides

[Verse]
A lifetime walking in penance
to spill more than gather substance
Tricolour flag with Hearts and spades
hovers in game dreamt then just fades

[Verse]
Falling through the skies, dealing rack
of otherworldly clover back
Lashes bring flashes of black rain
that slow dilated hurried pain

[Verse]
Thoughts to stack when twin suns in skies
forge Truth to tell from distant lies
sizzle roads of insides that burst
Even dark rain quenches the thirst

[Chorus]
Seamless the stitch so don’t ask why
Metamorphosis: Walk, Swim, Fly
Change swift with the hammering tides
by Spirit’s grace meek soul abides

Royalty
breathes within sternum
to maintain
decorum
Dragon gains audacity
remembered, not slain

The rules bent
they forego intent
Rising tides
where it hides
beckoning to hollowed space
of alien race

See irate
they gather at will
Shining gates
awe instil
Palace shimmers in their eye
suppressing their cry

The doors heave
Elders to bereave
glisten white
head to fight
their members reducing slow
though the numbers grow

Speech floats low
Nothing said is true
Rates below
risk’s return
Though for respite I do yearn
I unwind in you

Sullen skies
watch my every move
Deceit lies
in their sighs
There is nothing I will prove
I ignore their cries

Yesterday
I stored my future
under sands
Foreign lands
remembering osmosis
seep soul through crisis

The Negev
moved on silently
its body
wild man’s tool
its breath all still promises
unwinding through hiss

My seeds grown
diligently sown
through mind cast
made to last
A thousand years break under
the forced surrender

Cast me ten
Elements are five
Replicate
twice mission
The tribes that stand will survive
wayward attention

In truth lay
throne to sit upon
Mirrors don
gold inlay
They kill themselves as they slay
Desert winds whirl on

Once more into the fray…

Once more into the fray...
8 February 2025

I move quite regularly and can almost say that moving has become a habit, a treasured activity that forces me to reinvent myself while I reinvent my surroundings and ensure that either I adapt to them or they bear with me as I coax them into more habitable spaces that yield the kind of experience I wish. Every time I move, I unravel a trove of memories that come back to me like a storm or like a calm summer wind, depending upon how they were made and what they were made of. Some memories transcend the place and time they were born into and stay rooted like a hundred year-old olive tree. Their traces are like its shimmering leaves, spreading the feelings they once gave rise to within our bosoms and etching their particular aroma within our hungry nostrils as their intricacies play within our minds.

I sometimes feel like the olive tree itself, my memories shimmering within me and shedding light onto the pathways they forged within my mind. I am a tree of memories, the good and the bad, all laid out for my inner eye to see and my guts to experience all over again. I carry them sometimes into the open so I may pour all over them again my keen mind, eager to make sense of what could sometimes be senseless or to feel again what I had suppressed before for fear of not being able to overcome the deep foreboding that overcame me at that time. I am like a tree, yet unlike a tree I am unable to root myself into any ground. It seems like my gypsy spirit always wants to soar above the ground and visit yet another distant land, another unexplored part of the world. I sometimes wish I were an astronaut, able to roam the Universe rather than just the Earth.

I wonder if it is the fact that I come from a multicultural, multiracial background that makes me unable to take root anywhere. I feel no kinship to any of the countries I was born in or originated from by way of my lineage. More than a citizen of the world, I feel like a citizen of nothing, just a mass of energy floating here and there, never settling anywhere more than 6 years at a time in general. The longest I ever lived somewhere was in Dubai at Al Thanya Street where I remained for 8 years from 2010 until early 2018. For some reason, if it is not I who want to move, circumstances push me to make a move for somewhere else to stay in and I have never been able to stay in one place for 10 years or so. Every time I think I have found the place I want to stay in, I am out of there before the usual 6 year chime. It is as if I were a home Cinderella where the home would become a pumpkin at the end of the 6th year and my slippers would turn into bristles, causing me to strip them off and get going. So once more into the fray, this was again my moving day…

While ancient bells would ring alarm
the fickle ones showed falsehood charm
All imbued a sinister calm
The silence before the tempest

Free throats released a mighty sigh
The powers failed to forge a lie
where crossroads led to humble pie
the truth resounded in the mind

The breath of life turned inward heat
a place where soul unwound defeat
where Kings uncrowned would take a seat
In Kingdom, free rules are proclaimed

A wall rose up in the desert
through flickers that flames would assert
the blaze played on like a concert
a wane backdrop for their feelings

The Earth braced for oncoming change
quakes removed them from shooting range
Adversaries land would estrange
Consciousness would repair damage

I saw my thoughts and words still rhymed
The bell for sisterhood now chimed
Sorority sessions well timed
There is a new place for women

Snowdrops wilted face
Hidden thoughts of forgiveness
Frostbite a habit

Elongated shades
Lifetimes of togetherness
corpses of morrows

Musketeers battling
My eyelids a moist valley
Future renderings

My mind sits so still
in flutter of a heartbeat
I hear thousand drums 

Lilies in the night
sixty-six and six hundred
sacrificed in flight

Bottomless terror
Roots of nothingness prevail
Heart in black to sail

Pantomimes dance wild
I harbour within me child
of golden years dreamt

I scale back horrors
Endings rewind beginnings
Magic soars within

In scent’s memory
I can smell the spring coming
oozing out of trees

Tomorrow’s leaves fly
Crunch of green lift my feet slight
Windows heed doors’ cry

Change clutches my gait;
motion in my mind imparts
traces in my heart

Footstep’s movement dwells
in otherworldly places
that my stride foretells

Eye follows a mark,
hand strokes hidden stirring lights
trail of footprint’s sights

Steps taken in haste
move the music of morrows
Bittersweet their taste

A walk on rainbows;
action of colourful flames
lisping loud my names

A threefold act shifts:
of me I am the decoy,
victim of the ploy
