Circle dancing.
Around you go
In egocentric circles.
Spinning ever onward,
As Mother Earth,
Speaks only of her woe.
Circle dancing.
Ever expanding
In egocentric circles.
Our fate is determined
By one another,
Yet, who will stop to bother?
Circle dancing.
Up and around,
In egocentric circles.
Seems that humankind
Will never learn,
Until its cities burn.
Until its cities burn.
Circle dancing.
Forward then back,
In egocentric circles.
As the titan sinks,
You ignore the imploring,
Of children who need a drink.
Circle Dancing.
Around and around you go,
'Til you're lying in the snow!
As the titan sinks,
You ignore the imploring,
Of children who need a drink.
Circle Dancing.
Around and around you go,
'Til you're lying in the snow!
Circle dancing...
Circle dancing...
Circle damcing...
"As the world falls down..."
some really cool touches on the circling...i like the last ending up falling in the snow...i get the one on mankind and its ways to push us ever toward our own extinction as well...
ReplyDeleteHey Brian! Glad you found some, "...really cool touches on the circling." Always nice to get your input...pleased you resonate to my compositions!
DeleteRoger ☺
and around around it goes. Beautiful work Roger. I love your triplet presentations. They engage all senses.
ReplyDeleteHi Beth! Nice to see you! Yes, "and around around it goes," and so happy you like my 'triplets.' Yup, gald you let me know "They engage all the senses." That's what I aim for!
DeleteThanks so much Beth!
Roger ☺
Fun video inclusion, brought back lots of childhood memories. Oh so hard to escape the gravitational pull of the ego, leaving us blind to the needs of others. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteAnna! So nice to see you, and happy you found the video a "Fun...inclusion." Yup, that video popped into my mind when I was writing about the dancing, and seemed to fit nicely! Glad you found it 'Nicely done," too!
DeleteThank you,
Roger ☺
Hey Roger - thats a great snow pick up top - one of yours (for sure)? excellent! ... i'm obsessed with circles,spheres and cycles...its inside us isnt it? to feel the round of things... and
ReplyDeleteLabyrinth!!! Bowie is my all time favourite artist... i was conceived after a ziggy gig (my mum was a major (tom) groupie)
and this fim is one of my most watched....we still watch it every christmas and sing to the great soundtrack... the kids love it...but not as much as me!!!
cheers roger...
over and out :D
Arron! What a nice surprise to have you stop by and leave your comment! Always happy to get your thoughts! And, yes, that's one of my photos for sure! Glad you liked it!
DeleteYes, and I agree, "...circles, spheres and cycles..." are all fascinating, and I would think a part of us! And Bowie certainly is a great talent and artist, with Labyrinth being a favourite of mine too...especially the ball scene...lots of dancing and circles going on in there...
Thanks for your thoughts! Always appreciate!
Roger ☺
I love these triple things you do Roger--the phot, as yours always are, so rich in meaning, then the poem going through the same motions with words, and any sight of David Bowie makes for a good day, for me, let alone this one. Thanks. (But the hair--the 80's have a lot to answer for...;_) )
ReplyDeleteHi Joy! Great to see you again, and read your thoughts; alway a pleasure...and so glad you like the triplets! You're quite welcome...and, yes, David Bowie certainly has presented us with a lot of creative talent!
DeleteThanks for sharing your thoughts and take gentle care!
Roger ☺
The Triptych works beautifully - the refrain of the poem has stuck in my mind
ReplyDeleteHi there! Ahhh, so glad you liked this composition, and stopped by to let me know! Sincerely appreciate it...Yes, there's something about that refrain that sticks around!
DeleteRoger ☺
I loved how you combined many things... art, poetry, and snippet. It satisfies all senses.
ReplyDeleteSpinning ever onward,
As Mother Earth,
Speaks only of her woe.
The Labyrinth is a favorite of mine!
Hi Dana! Nice to have you stop by and leave your comment; sincerely appreicated! Glad you liked my composition and form...also happy to hear that it, "satisfies all senses." Exactly what I hope to accomplish!
DeleteRoger ☺
I love the concept of the triplet presentation, Roger! I may have to play around with that some time. And this is too true ... we spend far too much time moving in "egocentric circles".
ReplyDeleteHey yah Zach! Thanks for stopping by and leaving your thoughts! Glad you like my 'triplets!' It would be great to have you do some! I've tried to encourage people to give them a try, but alas no one has!
DeleteThanks again!
Roger ☺
Beautiful work, Roger .
ReplyDeleteHi Ayala! Thanks for stopping by and letting me know you liked this triplet! Appreciated!
