Be careful what you read. You may get ADDICTED.

 

Blessed be. 

Velumbound. 

Be careful what you read. 

You may get hooked. 

I wrote this with a vision of an inquisitive viewer alone, visiting my soon-to-be-launched interactive website. 

Sitting, wearing maybe headphones, listening and reading. 

Maybe just like you now. 

For you see all the transmissions. 

From music, narration and poetry that subtly invite you to "spend the night" and "lose your way" with them. 

All have a final hidden line with a darker twist: 

Despite wanting to leave, the listener is trapped 

("You'll be back so soon") 

By these entities whose whispers act as a "souls' monsoon."

Addicted to visual and audio stimulation. 

A new lore for the illuminated souls I created a new spiritual name for. 

The Velumbound. 

The hidden realms abound with subtle whispers. 

Maybe that's why you like returning to this not-so-easily found. 

Way station from The Great In-Between. 

Maybe this new world of short attention spans, flesh-driven content everywhere on social media, doesn't resonate with or respond to your unconscious need for more. 

Maybe you just seek to slow dance on a new dance floor?

(Zdzisław Beksiński art created from visions. Reminds me of some of my visions of The Great In-Between. A spectacular juxtaposition between light and dark.) 

Shall we begin? 

(A lone voice whispers) 

Let me take you under 

To a hidden place of perfect wonder 

Where you can see old souls float by

In the white lighting and grey thunder 

Whispering 

"You can spend the night with us

Ride on our crazy bus

Until daylight 

Lose your way

Say or think what you want to say

And just when you want to leave

We'll all pray and grieve 

But who are we to deceive 

You'll be back so soon

For now we are your souls' monsoon 

Ghosts on a crazy bus to ride with

On any given night or even darker afternoon"
