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

Indigo journeys through the luminous depths of inner vision, where the Blue Pearl awakens memories beyond the boundaries of earthly existence. As fading memories dissolve and the heart blossoms into a thousand-petalled lotus, love and spiritual consciousness unfold together. Ancient bonds loosen, the confines of the physical self recede, and the soul follows the indigo light towards a familiar celestial belonging. Between the stillness of meditation and the infinite blue of the Pleiades, the journey becomes a homecoming, an immersion in the boundless essence of being.

It seeps through eyelids
That seem to be mine today
Fluttering in light
Precious and dark though vibrant
Thoughtless colour, Indigo

[Verse]
It seeps through eyelids display
that seem to be mine today
Fluttering in light silent
Precious and dark though vibrant
Thoughtless colour, Indigo
A blue like the ocean’s flow

[Verse]
Shining through the blue deep lakes
Snow white light dances with flakes
of falling memories lit
A lurch as I part with it
My soul solace, Indigo
A blue like the ocean’s flow

[Verse]
Coursing through thick veins pulsing
to the heart of a parting
where the seeds will grow in womb
Swelling in my chest they bloom
Thousand petal Indigo
A blue like the ocean’s flow

[Verse]
Sweeping across me it flew
carrying all black for blue
Millenary chain to smite
On goes the journey to light
I breathe in still Indigo
A blue like the ocean’s flow

[Verse]
Palpable matrix to test
engulfing me bodiless
as I delve home to quarters
a dive into cool waters
My soul bathes Indigo
A blue like the ocean’s flow

## 📜 ORIGINAL POEM

A Sense of Wonder wanders through a world where night breathes, memories shift and the boundaries of time dissolve. Between the nightingale's song, a crow estranged from its own nature and flowers awakening to their inner worlds, the familiar becomes extraordinary. As old shells fall away, wonder emerges not merely from what the eyes behold, but from what the heart instinctively recognises. Like a sunflower reaching for the sun's kisses to recall its yellow, perhaps we, too, carry within us something beautiful that needs only the touch of light to remember itself.

Stars above burned bright
Exhaling scent of jasmine
The night sighed softly
Night’s cool stilled my wilderness
As I breathed in what she breathed

## ✍️ ADAPTED LYRICS

[Verse]
Stars above burned bright exhaling scent of jasmine
The night sighed softly memory engine
My mind’s tracks widened, Night’s cool stilled my wilderness
as I breathed in what she breathed, chest heaved in earnest

[Verse]
The nightingale sang to a tune etched between times
The morrow embraced today, the words sprung in rhymes
They played sliding games as dawn crept into my mind
It ceased its wandering quest as shells fell behind

[Verse]
Pale shadows would stretch, the soul gathers what it owns
Spirits dancing in the winds to flames unbeknownst
Mind flashing responds as it twists and turns in tides
A lone memory calls not as downhill it slides

[Chorus]
Reaching out to sun’s kisses, yellow to recall
A tear fell silent for the beauty of it all
The unravelled grace, Softly spoken promises
that behold my eye in awe, bright sight heart misses

[Verse]
A crow grazed like cows, its beak a semblance of thorn
Lost are now its roots, its majestic wings are torn
Black in my mind left ajar of light disposes
The silent tears shed left coal’s streaks among roses

[Verse]
Birds awoke to light that stirred in their nest aflame
From sun’s beckoning, the light playing a new game
A heart that set its course right needs not to feel shame
The floundering doubt, a leap of faith overcame

[Verse]
The cock crowed no more, its voice now silent on land
that stretched in stillness longest bridges to expand
Petunia now bloomed, A lake within flowed silent
as sunflower leapt its surface clear of intent

[Chorus]
Reaching out to sun’s kisses, yellow to recall
A tear fell silent for the beauty of it all
The unravelled grace, Softly spoken promises
that behold my eye in awe, bright sight heart misses

## 📜 ORIGINAL POEM

Born from a nightmare that felt like a fragment of forgotten memory, Weavers in Dungeons recounts the fall of celestial beings, stripped of their wings and condemned to an Earth where even sunlight becomes an instrument of persecution. Time dissolves into fragments of punishment, while ancient names lie hidden in books, holding the promise of liberation. Yet deception lurks within those same pages, and deep in their dungeons, the weavers of destiny remain imprisoned.

Crawling Earth
Heavenly nature
Wasted flight
Burnt candle
Amorphous remnants of light
Hybrid beings roam

[Verse]
Crawling Earth, Hybrid beings roam
Heavenly nature craving home
The Burnt candle, the Wasted flight
Amorphous the remnants of light

[Verse]
The Morning sun shunned all glory
The rebels face a fate gory
Beads of consequence, a curbed might
Scorching rays, a prison so bright

[Verse]
The hand counts Remainders of days
Centuries Fly in hours relays
Counting the traces of deep scars
from wings’ extraction, fall from stars

[Chorus]
Eerie lights Decorate their frames
Forgotten are their Ancient names
They Lie in books to raise them free
Weavers in dungeons spinning Three

[Verse]
Creepers seed within the tight veins
The thickening branch that restrains
Every free movement within stare
Monster park, Theme of a nightmare

[Verse]
The Motionless and Screaming void
Face of all expressions devoid
Legions of silence flutter stole
running still, Mouth a gaping hole

[Chorus]
Eerie lights Decorate their frames
Forgotten are their Ancient names
They Lie in books to raise them free
Weavers in dungeons spinning Three

a feminine figure walking weightlessly across an immense plane of water at twilight, not imitating Christ but experiencing apesanteur; Sun/starlight above, perhaps distant ancient rock/cave forms suggesting Jerusalem without buildings, and an almost imperceptible network of luminous roots beneath the water connecting her to a source behind her.

## 📜 ORIGINAL POEM

A return to Jerusalem, both sacred place and state of being, where scattered signs begin to gather around a forgotten purpose. Between ancient wisdom, sacrifice and resurrection, the journey draws strength from new wells and roots that reach beyond the visible. As earthly weight falls away, the waters become a plane upon which to rise — carrying the self towards a task that asks not for greater solidity, but for the lightness to transcend it.

Criss-cross of chances
Black hole meets mass of matter
The less is the most

[Verse]
Criss-cross of chances that scatter
Black hole meets mass of dark matter
The less is the most to outlast
I, Minerva of glorious past
forgot to tend to my own tasks
Interwoven signs shine, eye basks

[Verse]
Jolted now awake with a fright
My saddle I will set back right
as horses whinny riding dusk
to the outlines of mountains' tusk
Jagged profiles announce the glow
as the brooding sun now sets low

[Chorus]
Ebb and flow of the waters' waves
Back into Jerusalem’s caves
I will walk head high to sustain
Twenty-three paces of domain
more than fabled nine yards ushered
quietly Upheaval measure

[Verse]
I drink your water ending strife
Essence of your stark earthly life
from new wells you birthed so pristine
The onlooking stars will combine
shimmering mass of light rays gleam
that from you wrought strength to redeem

[Verse]
Roots spread between us through low hum
Gathering the link’s momentum
Bond that in the heart pulls stronger
Glory of simple no longer
Walking upon the waters' plane
which in soul flows no more mundane

[Chorus]
Ebb and flow of the waters' waves
Back into Jerusalem’s caves
I will walk head high to sustain
Twenty-three paces of domain
more than fabled nine yards ushered
quietly Upheaval measure

## 📜 ORIGINAL POEM

Unfolding Mysteries Spin explores the delicate balance between opposites—heat and cold, illusion and awakening, life and death, stillness and movement. As shifting landscapes of consciousness reveal hidden truths, the song follows a soul navigating the subtle currents that bind body and spirit. It reflects on the mysteries that quietly shape us, suggesting that transformation is found not by choosing one extreme over another, but by embracing the space where they meet.

The company that False we keep

Writhing frames, the wilting will slain
Mummies preserved where we had lain

Our bodies glowing fallen stars

winding memory’s music box
Your song in my head, crimson scars
You are twinkling now in the stars

Shredded feet walking on stray glass
The feeling within keen trespass
Your heartbeat alive, eyelids’ flood
Memory’s lane coursing through my blood

The Shaman Tales 7 : The spells

At first there came the sound and then another and another making it a word. Then the mind looked into the heart and bound itself to it. Then the heart and mind bound breathed into the word and the spell came into being. It was as easy as that to create a spell. Was it that easy, she thought? Then of course it occurred to her that it was not that easy to bind the mind to the heart. It took years of practice just for the mind to be able to look properly into the heart, let alone bind itself to it. The magic was strongest though when the heart and mind were effortlessly bound together and remained that way.

 

Once the spell released into the outer world, it was important that this was picked up by strong consciousness points. These were essentially creative people because their hearts and minds were bound together and stayed so effortlessly. In the process of disseminating the effect of the spell, one creative person counted as a million individuals who were neither creative nor having looked into their hearts with their minds and bound them together. She knew anyway that it was rare for a person to have bound their heart and mind and not become a creative person as a result of that exercise so in general the target was creative people.

 

For the magic to work without her intervention, it was sufficient to have at least 10 creative people read or hear the spell. If they read and heard it, it was even more efficient. The more creative people who were involved in the reading or hearing of the spell, the better it worked. For some reason, the spell attained its peak when a million creative people read and heard it and from that point on, the magic mutated and did not have the same effect anymore. It was not that it worsened. It just became different and she always marveled to see what different effects could be obtained when the magic spell mutated.

She looked at the water that was breaking into foam at the edge of the sand. It was a pale grey colour, unlike the blue water of the day before when the sun had been out. The night fell gradually upon the beach plunging her in a temporary darkness before some street lights flickered and illuminated the edge of the water. The deep side of the sea remained pitch black and undistinguishable from the edge of where the sky had ended at sunset.

 

The disappearance of the sun changed nothing in the stickiness of the atmosphere around her. Crows cawed as usual high above, their restlessness never curbed, not even by the night. Just before sunset a batallion of dragonflies had fought the crows for some space in the skies and though they outnumbered the latter, they still looked remarkably fragile in comparison and she had wondered what the outcome would be. For some reason her thoughts had drifted back to the boy in her childhood who used to pin down dragonflies with needles or a side of a safety pin. The memory of that cruelty had made her shudder.

 

She looked back at the skies but all the dragonflies had left now. Only the cawing crows were hastening back to the shelter of the surrounding trees. She felt the waters call to her again and she turned back to gaze at the black outline of the waves that she could hear breaking on the shore. She would have loved to plunge into the waters had they not been so polluted at this spot. She longed for the beautiful beaches she had once been at and where she could first soak her toes before plunging in delight right into the sea.

 

Her gaze went up beyond the waves and she saw a flickering star. She wondered how it was that something that looked so alive was but the last message of a dying entity. Something within her stirred. She could almost remember a journey through the void and in between a myriad of planets. Her eyes glazed over with tears. She wanted to be back up there, on that roller coaster ride far away from Earth. She could almost hear that other deep calling out to her. She sighed and looked back again at the shadow of the sea. One day she would be back there. One day she would return to the stars.
