A pilgrim, I, did seek the truth within another land. A gardener shared his fruits with me that I might understand that rooted in simplicity complexity oft' grows. To orchestrate a puppets' dance is tempting fate, I know. The wisemen note the passing hour, the lonely widows mourn. The Yellow Jester joins the choir and sings a song forlorn. I've played the Purple Pipers' tune, done Pattern Jugglers' deeds, I've summoned up the Firewitch, and watched the Black Queen bleed. All this , and much, much more, I fear the truth's a funny thing, your life is never quite the same once you've been Crimson Kinged [This message has been edited by Dr.Moose1 (10-28-2010 06:39 AM).] |

A good and "easy" tribute, both to the band and to those who would seek truth. A good read. |

Okay... now I've got to go break out my old LPs and spin some discs. Yep, I still got a functional turn table. A sweet read here Doc. "We'll chase them like rats across the tundra." |

easy1, Thanks for the R&R, glad you liked. Doc Andrew, Spin on ol' buddy, I've still got one too, but I'm more of a "Pandora" guy theses days. Doc Sunshine, Lol, I seriously doubt that. Doc Winter, Thank you, the rythm is derived from it's ballad form as was the original piece by the band "King Crimson". Doc JerryPat, Lol, now that's kind of scary, to think I mught be making sense to anyone. Doc Earl Brinkman, Thank you. The concept of this was to take all the characters from the original piece and integrate them into the story to see how it would play out if I were to interact with them. Judging from the responses, it didn't work out too bad, lol. Doc Nan, Thank you so much. I've kinda been flying under the radar here (as usual). Hope all is well . Doc Eusta B. Mae, Love that moniker, so glad you enjoyed. Doc |
