drudging through days
in a cloud of cliches
we change from phase to phase
in a lifeless parade
and so it shall go, and so it shall go
a big box of rain, locked in a timeless flow
and God's resigned sigh can be heard, don't you know
In the prosaic wind that blows us to and fro.
what is the Row?
Bob Dylan - Desolation Row  lyrics | analysis   i take no credit for lyrics or analysis (or anything else on this thing for that matter). peace/love to all
the Row has many names and assumes many forms. It is constant, and it is ever-changing. it is reality, and it is imagination. it is rejection, and it is acceptance. it is desolation, and it is free, unshackled jubilation.
the Row harnesses the collective creative energies of our entire universe. it is the powerful--yet undefinable--presence inside each and every one of us, the voice that calls us, begs us to embrace our unique artistic potential and challenge the cruelty and the banality of mainstream society. it provides a haven and an inspiration for the ingenuity and the vision that exist within all of us and furnishes an environment where we can cast away the trammels of reality and embrace of the limitless canvas of imagination and fantasy.
the Row, dear reader, offers true and invulnerable happiness and definite, exhilarating purpose. my friend, I invite to embrace the ipseity that lies dormant deep within your soul. To dream, to hope, to create.... come with me, to the Row.    hide

twins.
the green, the gray
the sun, the rain
the night, the day
different, but same
and we ride the amorphous wave\
for life, dear fiend, exists in the distance
between the fire and ice
for darkness and light, they are brothers
twins under different disguise

megaphone, megaphone.
to paint the world white
to paint the world pure
they envelope sight
in the name of the Light
but love is found not in a worn holy book
whose pages are bound with lies
perhaps love is found in the peace that you took
from the people with smiling eyes
megaphone, megaphone, piercing the air
what truth is carried in your cries?
for the music is lost in the hate that you glean
from the love inside 3:16

smile.
walking in the golden sunlight
your hair glows with your smile
oh, sunlight guide me, contented child
i give myself to the light tonight
im falling through your bright blues eyes
as your hand beckons me closer
wrap me gently, darling, in the blanket of freedom
and the whisper of your comforting sighs
id say id show you the world, but it's not this world that i need
i long to live in the world you love
and smile in your dreams.

id say id show you the world, but it's not this world that i need

landscapes.
kaleidescope landscapes of deep blues and greens
tumble gently across a soft sky
drops of cold rain drip from prophetic reams
that unfold with the wind's rhythmic sighs
but behind the dark clouds, lucid beams of bright passion
unite in their powerful dance
and the bright neon angels breathlessly fashion
lands of embryonic romance
tumble gently across a soft sky
drops of cold rain drip from prophetic reams
that unfold with the wind's rhythmic sighs
but behind the dark clouds, lucid beams of bright passion
unite in their powerful dance
and the bright neon angels breathlessly fashion

threads.
what is this great Reality, if not imagination
what is this life we live, if not abstract creation
for we weave our circumstance
with the threads of sacred dreams
and we craft our sacred dreams
in the Utopia of mind...

the shore.
Society, the timid lion
Shakes in his silent roar
He leads a long, conformist line
Along the crowded shore
His power comes from ignorance
He wields a shield of fear
For Society, the timid lion
Holds Darkness near and dear
But crashing on the safe soft sands
Are waves that long to free
And if you jump with trusting heart
The waves shall carry thee
To a land of peace and comfort
Of acceptance and honesty
A land where a watchful spirit
Floats softly above the trees
And the sky above shall speak to you
And guide you toward her light
A light that lurks within the winds
And holds you at great heights.
