Annie gave some valuable hints to what music should be/do/evoke, but the main impact is done by the words and their presentation ...

Hey Annie; just left a comment on the APi_zz version; goes for this one, too//Annie

This was inspired by a lucid dream. The first verse is verbatim what happened, but I couldn’t remember the rest when I woke up. So I imagined what I think might have happened, or could have happened, or even should have happened next! 

Big thanks to @APi_ZZ who has magically composed some quite dreamy, trippy and unique-sounding music to accompany the voyage.

WORDS

You found me lying dozing on the Web. 
“Why are you here?” you whispered softly.
“This is what holds it all altogether,” I said
Gesturing to encompass its warp and weft,
“What? All of it,” you said, lying next to me.
I smiled at the warmth of your magnetics,
“Yeah,” I said, “they’ve got this Wyrd thing
“Going on...to help them manage infinity!”


“How to do you know all this stuff?”
You asked, still not really sure of my premise.
After all, I expect you thought it wasn’t very scientific.
“It’s easy, you just follow the River of Words.
“It’s not a waterway that runs to the sea,
“But back to the cosmic ocean of birth.
“The Druids called it the silver river of ‘Awen’.
“Their bards took their inspiration from there.”
“The silver river of Awen!” you laughed 
 “Oh, we should go there now… Come on!”
You grabbed my hands and pulled me up, 
“Sure” I said...and then we just jumped. 

“Hold on,” you said. We gripped tight to our wooden raft.
You were staring down at the river, and said: 
“I could swear I just saw the word ‘magic’ floating past.” 
“Yes, we’re going back to the genesis of that word,”
“So you can get what it means, from its source.”
“Where is that?” you asked. “You’ll see,” I replied.
 “Now watch out. We’re just coming to the giant waterfall 
“That plunges into the abyss of the Age of Enlightenment.” 

 “What the hell was that?” you asked, 
As our raft emerged out into a smooth-flowing creek,
“Don’t worry about it, “ I said. “It was just a device
“To end the Dark Ages. Only it just made things worse.
“They thought that by separating matter and spirit
“They’d get a more true view of reality.
“But, unfortunately, it was quite the reverse.”
“But what started the Dark Ages?” you wondered,
“Oh...that was just the Time Bandits
“Telling us that the Sun orbited around us,
“Screwing up our sky charts and calendars
 “Robbing us of our place in the All That Is.”

The sun was beating down as if it was midday
So we lay back on our raft to soak up the rays.
But then it just got hotter and hotter, until you asked
“Where are we now?” “Ancient Alexandria,” I said

The ‘magic’ word came past again, but now it just said ‘mage’
It floated towards the sandy banks where we saw an old sage,
Seated on a camel, his head wrapped in a purple turban, 
“We must be in the cradle of alchemy because there’s a mage.” 
 “That’s a mage?” you said. “You mean a magician?” 
“Yes, ‘mag’ just meant ‘power’; the ability to rearrange 
“The electro-magnetic warp and weft of, you know, 
“the Web of the Wyrd upon which our reality is staged.” 
“Well, I think it’s all a simulation,” you replied.
“So if you’re talking about that coding...”
“I am,” I smiled, sensing another adventure ahead.
“Then I’m in for the ride!” you said.

Web Of The Wyrd

Bard, storyteller, song maker, star walker and author of books on the sacred mysteries.

All the lyrics of my songs are written by me. I put them to music with A.I. and then I spin up the whole lot in the Magimix with samples and loops. I can't sing for toffee, so if you fall in love with a singer on one my tracks, it's likely to be a robot!  Just sayin'...😎
