## 🧠 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

This poem reflects upon the cycles through which Earth has gone and could go in the future with a futuristic view of alternate realities that spurs from using a technique called stream of consciousness.

Engulfed in shadows
The earth seeks a source of light
As ice takes over
Cold draft stills the mind that seeks
Door ajar to inner light

## ✍️ ADAPTED LYRICS

[Verse]
Engulfed in shadows of night
the Earth seeks a source of light
As ice takes over the peaks
cold draft stills the mind that seeks
Door ajar to inner sight
a ray pierces through so bright

[Verse]
From long forgotten valley
where days hold forever key
Dumbstruck, I observe in awe,
as it shines, translucent, raw
Bathing in its warmth to hail
a lizard stretches its tail

[Verse]
Remnant of past pride so few
What is lost is found anew
says silent spirit to mind
seeking memory to remind
Door closing bathes red stains
from light seeping through tight veins

[Chorus]
Swallow in the sun to tweet
wings outstretched basking in heat
soaring above Earth departs
Its flight makes mellow my heart
that roared with winter’s approach
Light on darkness to encroach

[Verse]
Veins burn with past to retain
Blood to blood shall call again
as storms well inside abode
The boatman carries on board
ten white lilies like ten souls
that start to wither in scrolls

[Verse]
Will storm flood the lilies’ nest
building darkness from unrest?
Flickering shadows trace path
Yesterday etched in my heart
I yearn in silent sorrow
for two thousand years spliced slow

[Verse]
Ten fluttering birds arise
Falling dusk ends the sunrise
Beaks shattering the door smart
ice scatters around my heart
A thousand rays flow within
my flight shows translucent skin

[Chorus]
Swallow in the sun to tweet
wings outstretched basking in heat
soaring above Earth departs
Its flight makes mellow my heart
that roared with winter’s approach
Light on darkness to encroach

Two to tie

Within is without

Seven flags

Fly about

Rings of fire scorch the trees

Penitent on knees

 

Dragon’s lair

His smell in the air

Wings that lift

Nightly drift

Black holes guide to inner stare

His world here not there

 

Concealed might

Whispers in the night

He gifts me

Second sight

The Northern Star guides me right

My frame in his light

 

Magic tricks

Bosoms split in six

Spells that fix

Feathers mix

Bring together what was torn

One eyed king is born

 

Awoken

I am unbroken

He grants me

Love token

Three times soft words are spoken

His heart in my care

 

Spring has come

Lost weight of winter

Suns rays play

With my eye

From him I will never shy

Eagle of my sky

center heart christian schloe almond tree from heart.jpg

We bask in the light

Summer suns a safe haven

Winter a shadow

 

Within chronicles

Yesterday’s dreams are waning

Particles of dust

 

Wandering crows meet

Blackened rooftops gain a shade

Crafty black in black

 

Blue ribbons scatter

Red garlands will drag along

Skies a jigsaw frame

 

I gather moonbeams

Pale lilies in the pond glow

Infinite glitter

 

Show me an arrow

I will show you bleeding bows

Harvests are meager

 

Fingers summon years

Tireless practice in the aim

Center of the heart

Churn my wheels

Spin through my mindscapes

They translate

Change to come

Rotation a spin of Times

Creating with rhymes

 

Read through me

The books forgotten

Treasure hunt

Ill-gotten

Gold an alchemist’s project

A dream to reject

 

Morph me slow

Pictured yesterday

When we lay

In warm hay

Looking at twin suns that rose

New old to depose

 

Ring in me

Bell of home coming

When we speak

In drumming

Beats of the hearts that will learn

What in soul we yearn

 

Breathe through me

Void of the living

When we gave

Forgiving

The random web of deceit

Our soul free complete

 

Break in me

The downward spiral

When the wake

Feels viral

The morrows lead denouement

In upward movement

Square circles

Blend in my footsteps

The suns rise

In winters

When the tides set in rivers

Knocking at my door

 

They were four

Liquid symphonies

They rode on

Beyond breeze

Their breath and fire lit trees

Pathways of cinder

 

Water came

Flowed into broiled game

We knew not

How to tame

Raging of fire and flow

The split and splinter

 

Shards of rain

Swept away masses

Needle’s eye

Forgave not

The slightest remnant of thought

Borne within the fear

 

Bask in pain

Sunlight reminder

When we wake

To mistake

Morrows shadow our past tense

Wickers of pretense

 

The woods lie

Down by the river

Where the hearts

Still quiver

Sound of music invading

The purple at dusk

Illusion

A floating of worlds

In my mind

World without

Percentages of choices

The outcome unkind

 

Build with me

With more than mortar

Less than stone

Future hone

We celebrate the Divine

In woodlands the vine

 

Of the growth

We have heard of tales

Flying whales

In Oceans

Floating into the blue skies

Where the strong willed lies

Warm the purple creed

Blended code

Love abode

They fused the Red and the Blue

We confused each clue

 

Intentions

A lost path of Pi

Cut the wire

Flamed the fire

Moved around in circle dire

Consequences Grey

Unravel

Depths of the token

Call of wild

Nature’s child

The twelve move into thirteen

The heart in chest keen

 

Pyramid

Three points of suture

The secret

Lost future

The galactic happenings

Renewed in endings

 

Golden horn

Blowing over winds

Peace treaty

Broken fast

The days counted to the last

Smothering waters

 

Heart falters

Summoning the dread

We were fed

Dose of lead

Counting drops of salvation

Retreat in nation

 

Madman hangs

To moon’s crescent flags

The will drags

Writhing rags

Semblances of our being

The Heart unseeing

 

Eternal

Journey of the suns

Water tilts

Into skies

My golden wings as she flies

Into my nine realms

Carry three

Through the night’s mantle

The monsters

Dismantle

My cloak of everlasting

Neon light blasting

 

Dragons rise

Their wings a sunshade

For Gaia

Oblivious

She sunbathes as the suns burn

Centuries that turn

 

Cool me slow

Bring the humming low

Moon caress

He watches her now undress

Withered leaves

Pages of the fall

Skies that shut

Behind clouds

A lone voice among the crowds

The haunting whispers

 

Sun shivers

The warmth receding

Into dark

Broken lark

Searching for chirps in bosom

As flow runs crimson

 

Eyes open

To the wilderness

Looking glass

Mirrors sight

The purple rays of twilight

Suffusing the night
