Let the healing begin

This one cropped up last year, when there was much media coverage of the plight of refugees, and unbelievably, some who lacked compassion ...... I find it hard to understand -

Ruminations on a Cloud

I listen 
to many sounds
the vibrations
form an aura
a shell
of protection
against
the White Noise
of daily existence
You musicians
are the magicians 
of alchemical
protection
like the wizards of old
you make magic
which shines in the dark
vibrations which snake
moving up my spine
a kundalini - a mark
bless you and
thank you
be free

Human Nature (Post Apocalypse)
(Collab with ALPHIO - Test/Sept 2017)

It's Human
Human Nature

We mean to Love forever 
But
Love just ebbs away

We vow to Live forever
But
Life just fades away

It's Human
Human Nature 
Just
Human Nature

We strive for Acceptance
and
We toil for Abundance
But
What is the Cost?
- When your Spirit gets soured
And All Hope is Lost?

It's Human
Human Nature
Just Human
Human Nature

Human is as Human Does
We Laugh, We Cry
Maybe do some Good
And sow some seeds
And the we Die
You ask me Why?

It's Human Nature
Just Human Nature ......

SMELL THE ROSES

The faux sparkle
The manic glee as
You think you entertain me
But the DNA is shaken AND stirred
The psyche and the aura are mashed
You are too loud
I want to find the off switch
I want to honour the Silence
I want to celebrate the eternal - 
the emptiness 
that is the conception of Creativity and Life
This grey dragon
has no colour  
it is not beautiful
please release it
and put on your coat of many colours
WAKE UP!
and smell the roses 🌹

SMELL THE ROSES

Lyrics:
Force my feet to keep on moving
Sounds so sweet when the beat starts grooving
Time flies by, but life is such
I’ve been thinking that I drink too much
I hold my breath but I’m still breathing
Life or death, it never come too easy
Bide my time till the well runs dry
I let the sun rays turn a dark soul bright
 
Shine on like the sun
Holding on to a feeling
Shine on everyone
Find love to believe in
 
What’s mine is yours and what’s yours is mine
They said everything will be just fine
I give my best and I give my all
Feel like everything’s all my fault
Time stands still, but the clock keeps spinning
I close my eyes and get lost for a minute
The words and the tears, they have long dried up
I think I thought that I’d had enough
 
Shine on like the sun
Holding on to a feeling
Shine on everyone
Find love to believe in
 
Had a dream I was flying
That’s where I go when I want to be free
All this time I’ve been trying
To escape to the place where I belong
 
Shine on like the sun
Holding on to a feeling
Shine on everyone
Find love to believe in
Shine like the sun
Shine like the sun
Shine like the sun
Shine like the sun

PROOF OF LIFE
Your heart beats
the rhythm of
your Conscious Self
Your blood pulses
the journey of
your physical body
Spirit pervades
Spirit is the fuel
Together it is
Proof of Life 
Which we begin
with a cry
and leave 
with a sigh
But Love
Oh Love
Love is the Essence
Love is the Rhythm 
Love is the Pulse
Love is the Fuel
and it has nothing 
nothing to prove.....


Proof of Life

I am not a musician but music plays a very important role in my creative life! I am an artist/designer and music is my companion and my muse in the long hours I spend working in my studio! 
I am immensely impressed and grateful for all the talented and inspiring musicians whose work graces this Cloud, and I will always re-post sounds that I love (and will listen to again) - knowing that others will enjoy them!
I feel slightly embarrassed and quite humbled when I receive such graceful messages of thanks from artists whose work I have re-posted - after-all, I am the one who is so inspired by the discovery of your brilliant music!!!
So thank YOU!!!
Jools :)
P.S. If you want to see where the music takes me there is a link to my Portfolio site on Behance below!!! 
NEW!! - Thanks for all the great feed-back on my work! I shall be re-launching with a website (shop & archive) ‘KULT-JE’ in the not too distant future! Meanwhile, examples of past and current work are featured on my Instagram (@joolselphick)
Since my heart op in Jan2021, I have had to deal with taking quite a lot of meds which have interrupted my design work - that and moving to Germany in 2020 - and back in 2021 (due to Covid my business plans stalled!) - SO, slowly getting it together…. hang tight!😊

I have an archive of my work to date on Instagram - @joolselphick
