Illuminati
Dedicated to David Draiman, Lead Singer of the group Disturbed, and the other band members of the group who do such supportive work for their fans and for the prevention of suicide and depression worldwide.
ILLUMINATI
It has taken all this time
For you to find me
I have watched you from afar
From the edges of this sacred ground
Waiting for you to walk the path
That would one day bring you closer
To these truths that you searched for
But you found so hard to find
Because this inner landscape
Joins your heart and mind
Finally leaving any deceptions
Far, far behind
Let the mystery enfold you
You have found me here this bright morning
Join me on this path so we are together
And let my love enfold you
And beat in time with your heart

This work is again from the series of images that I took of this beautiful Angel in Ocklynge Cemetery in Eastbourne. The experience of being with this Angel on that crisp cold morning in February was very special for me. This cemetery has a unique atmosphere; voices calling out for you in this Gothic City of The Dead. They did call me back, and I visited again in June this year. I have been writing some work to the images I took in the summer.
It is a place I shall want to keep returning to, as it is not far from where I live, and I am considering putting up a whole page on my website dedicated to this place, as the work and inspiration keeps growing.
I have again paired this work with the song “Sound Of Silence”, and again, sung by David Draiman, but this time live. I always knew this would be a ‘part B’ to “The Student”, my other work, that is a partner to this, and where I included Disturbed’s official recording of The Sound of Silence.
I have been saving this image and its blue sky and Angel just for David’s live performance to be included with it. The two just went together in my mind. The words to my poem came to me that morning as I stood there with this Angel. I had to scribble them down in my notebook. Because David’s performance is so special I am going to thank him in my own way and dedicate this work to him, as a thank you for sharing his God-given voice with us, for uplifting us, for sharing his heart. I do not add dedications lightly….otherwise what would be the point.
Thank you.
