The Other Side of the Moon

Sometimes, one just has to resurrect the great, the immortal sounds of music beyond description.

The Other Side of the Moon
Odin Roark

Pink
Oh Pink
Such a reality

Yes

I’ll breathe in the air
Won’t be afraid to care

So much to inhale
Black
Murky
Clear
Translucent
All

All

Rolling strings
Brushes caressing the heads
Anonymous voices
Vibratory echoes
Guitar vibes never ending

All there

Our transport
To the other side

Never stop the music

Infuse the clear air

Giving plain air guts
Love
Insight


Your vibes
My vibes

C’mon
Doesn’t get any better

Those voices in the distance
Wanting so much
Just to be heard
Forever

Lather the strap
Shave the excess
Render the recess bells glorious
We’re out on your playground
Gilmour and Waters
Even on your own
Genius knows immortality

Still so sublime

Strings ever present
Never the echo will fade
Never the voices of old
Young in the past
It’s all the same
Just passion in words
And sound
Ageless

Listen…
Only in the minds of the unconscious
Will their sound fade…

Love’s language forever an enigma

Yes Pink Floyd, they are my favorite. I'd actually forgotten about them till you wrote this. CD's Out of sight, out of mind. "Wish you were here" makes me think of my son, because I wish he was here, but we used to talk about that, "2 lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, same ole fears year after year" If I remember it right. I'd use that as an example for different things. I sure miss the deep talks me and my son had. Anyway, love the poem, you have definitely listened to them.

In 1975, while I was at Marshall University, some college students called "Little Girl Productions, hung posters around town for a group they were promoting. I had never heard of Pink Floyd, but they were coming to Huntington, West Virginia.

My favorite is, "Another Brick in the Wall," but "The Dark Side of the Moon" ain't bad either. And a group called Brit Floyd is touring so that we can all experience those vibes again. Musical genius you are describing in your poem comes along infrequently, but can stay with us forever in its many reincarnations.

Quiet desperation seems to be the poets way.
Will such music ever be written again? C'mon Breathe.

I hear those haunting echoes of Pink Floyd, Moody Blues and the like, loud and clear...
I have always loved that quirky, alternative perspective, and here, you have added your own colours to the vast spectrum.
