This poem was written after I witnessed a close friend lose his temper, his anger at a rage. Initally written in 2015, I saw this could be a metaphor for the rages of the Earth's fires, happening in Los Angeles. A former home to me years ago. So as I posted this song, my songwirter SOH Alex Vermeulen, immediately loved it and brought it to a different title "Shout it Out". As a revoltution to transmute anger and fire ansd destruction ( like Kali or Shiva's wrath) and alchemize it as medicine.
Here's the words if you like to sing along:
Great Power takes its toll
and is scary to control.
The responsibility is massive
and aggressive not passive.
Shout it out and feel
Any known joys
come deploy in feral winds
and wild vortexes
of sound vibrations.
Make some space
around you
Shake
And let your body take
experience in a stillness
at the eye of its storm.
Harm no one
hurt nothing
focus in the enormous wake
of your internal storms and earthquakes.
Trust your frustrating anger
to catalyze pains in life
and provide light
on the pressurized walls
you can call to break open.
Hoping to see
on the other side
there is a wide field
of possibility
So vast and full of ease
Grace and prosperity.
Clarity to gain
and claim
your gardens of abundance
to run, dance, cry and romance
In a journey of endless adventurous
heart centered winters
Summers
and ongoing eons
of living truth.
