I Won’t Rest Until…

A sonnet of The Beatles wisdom

45115771 by chrisdorney licensed from depositphotos.com

I have traveled the long and winding road Strawberry fields guide through dark nights of soul Synchronicities yellow bricks I’ve strode Trying to discern purpose and my goal

Lucy’s diamonds shone like a million suns calling me across universe onward breathing in God’s love to salve aching lungs Paul’s lyrics soothing me like a songbird

George reminds me tomorrow never knows John reads me scripts from a day in a life Richard off-key knows help friends will bestow Let it be and I will suffer no strife

Music has always been my guiding light I won’t rest until the end is in sight

(I was at that concert!!!)

The Beatles are proof to me of the existence of “God.” In July of 1964 they perfected pop (A Hard Days Night (their first album without any cover tunes) was released). A few months after releasing Help! in August 1965, they began to take music to a place it had never been before and hasn’t been since. In a year and a half, they released Rubber Soul (December 1965), Revolver (August 1966), Strawberry Fields Forever as the A-side and Penny Lane as the B-side of a single (February 1967) and Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (June 1967). Absorb Rubber Soul, Revolver and Sgt. Pepper’s in that order (I recommend the mono mix of Sgt. Pepper’s over the stereo mix). Hear the nuances and the techniques never before realized and being expanded and perfected over the course of those albums. Universal influence is apparent. The creative advancement, out of nowhere, cannot otherwise be explained.

I love how music triggers memories — often bringing me back to a time that now seems simpler and yearned for — but in reality those times were no simpler than the present — maybe it just seems that way because I survived them — because they are safely in the past?

That pull-quote is from my, which is my first and still the finest piece of self-expository writing I have ever crafted:

More of my song lyrics based poetry:

In Rama I create, with soul-energy surging through my body, inspiring me and breathing wind into my sails,
