Today’s #iamgrateful is dedicated to David Bowie – the man who put character into his music. Just by forming a poem out of his song titles I feel like I went on an epic journey. There will never be anyone like him on this Earth again. We’ll miss you star man!
Source of Inspiration: A Reality Tour – David Bowie
i’m the rebel
following a different path
just to see the same star
from a new kind of reality
the famous cactus isn’t here
but you’ll see her ‘round midnight
afraid of the snakes
and all the young dudes
away from their wives
the lonely guy stands
behind the mirror, screaming
who sold the world?
I’m on a fantastic voyage
mad man with a blue box
where is that space boy?
Sunday springs
into daylight
under the suns pressure
unveiling Mars
we’ll fight this battle
rise from the ashes
loving an alien
from the corner Motel
it never gets old
the Americans are afraid of change
but they, we can be heroes
listen to the Disco King
before five years
slips away
and we’re hanging onto ourselves
in the dust of the stars
left on the moon.
The angels are gone
and this girl
has this day.
