The Overtones

 The Overtones" in my Sketchbook (1974)




In 1974 ( 46 years ago ) I wrote a poem entitled 'The Overtones', without the slightest idea of how or by what means could I share my learning ( lofty ideals ?) to the whole wide world as per the last three lines of the poem. I meant the universe back then.

It beats me now. With the benefit of hindsight, all is clear. It's the power of the Internet. Did I knew intuitively before that it could be so easily done like today with the world wide web? It is a mystery answered.

The coloured sketch  is taken out of my sketch book about the same time and dated 30th July,1974. The sketch was done to illustrate the poem. The scrapbook will be among the items to be exhibited in the 2nd Solo. (Note: 'M' is the acronym for 'MOOD' - my creative identity)

The Overtones

And every morning I wake up

To see the blues

The reds and yellows

Whirl in endless ecstasy

For here I am

Alone on a blue mountain

The red sun

Come! Ablaze me in my loneliness

And let the golden yellow

Shine my brilliance and thought

Across the universe
