"I see myself as a huge fiery comet, a shooting star. Everyone stops, points up and gasps, "Oh look at that!" Then - whoosh, and I'm gone... and they'll never see anything like it ever again... and they won't be able to forget me - ever."- Jim Morrison
Why do I drink?
So that I can write poetry.Sometimes when it's all spun out
and all that is ugly recedes
into a deep sleep
There is an awakening
and all that remains is true.
As the body is ravaged
the spirit grows stronger.Forgive me Father for I know
what I do.
I want to hear the last Poem
of the last Poet.Wilderness, Jim Morrison.
Khalil Gibran
He is a link between this and the coming world.
He is
A pure spring from which all thirsty souls may drink.He is a tree watered by the River of Beauty, bearing
Fruit which the hungry heart craves;
He is a nightingale, soothing the depressed
Spirit with his beautiful melodies;
He is a white cloud appearing over the horizon,
Ascending and growing until it fills the face of the sky.
Then it falls on the flows in the field of Life,
Opening their petals to admit the light.
He is an angel, send by the goddess to
Preach the Deity's gospel;
He is a brilliant lamp, unconquered by darkness
And inextinguishable by the wind. It is filled with
Oil by Istar of Love, and lighted by Apollon of Music.He is a solitary figure, robed in simplicity and
Kindness; He sits upon the lap of Nature to draw his
Inspiration, and stays up in the silence of the night,
Awaiting the descending of the spirit.He is a sower who sows the seeds of his heart in the
Prairies of affection, and humanity reaps the
Harvest for her nourishment.This is the poet whom the people ignore in this life,
And who is recognized only when he bids the earthly
World farewell and returns to his arbor in heaven.This is the poet who asks naught of
Humanity but a smile.
This is the poet whose spirit ascends and
Fills the firmament with beautiful sayings;
Yet the people deny themselves his radiance.Until when shall the people remain asleep?
Until when shall they continue to glorify those
Who attain greatness by moments of advantage?
How long shall they ignore those who enable
Them to see the beauty of their spirit,
Symbol of peace and love?
Until when shall human beings honor the dead
And forget the living, who spend their lives
Encircled in misery, and who consume themselves
Like burning candles to illuminate the way
For the ignorant and lead them into the path of light?Poet, you are the life of this life, and you have
Triumphed over the ages of despite their severity.Poet, you will one day rule the hearts, and
Therefore, your kingdom has no ending.Poet, examine your crown of thorns; you will
Find concealed in it a budding wreath of laurel.Khalil Gibran, The Poet, Chapter 8
