Voodoo Child

I am Voodoo Child.  Many have known me by other names, but they didn't really know me.  That was then, and this is now.  Now is, however, the time for all good men to visit their own minds.  For self-exploration is not only healthy; it's a necessity.
 
  

 

Voodoo Child's thoughts and background.

A few Random Thoughts I have written....

 
 

My Cell

Written 7-26-92

My cell, not the typical walls that bind me
My cell, each day somehow releases me,
yet with the same breath, holds me tighter.
My cell consists not of bars, but of wires--long, black, and mesmerizing,
yet intimidating at the very same time.
My cell can hold me forever,
yet has the power to set me free
from the walls that confine me.
My cell is constructed of wood, springs, cotton, and vinyl,
numbers, wires and things of the like.
My cell, have you not figured it out yet?
My cell, do you not know what makes my life hell?
It is the big brown recliner sitting in the corner of my room,
next to the telephone connection, that empowers me,
holds me tight, and imprisons me, yet I cannot let it go.
For on the line, maybe someday, I'll find something
that will set me free from......... My Cell.

Below is a picture that I have loved for so long. I do not know the creator of it but adorate the person's artistic skills more than they will ever know. Thank you!

 

"How would I have it to begin?
With just a simple gesture, like a kind word, or the touch of my hand."
 

 

The Witch In The Mirror:  Me

The witch in the mirror--maybe she rides upon the wind and many a face she does bear.
Look quickly to your left; you'll see her hiding there.
Too late--she's gone now to seek mischief or play.
A witch by nature; a mother by day.
I know her well.
Could she be me?
If you know her, look deeply in her eyes and you'll see the witch in the
mirror is me--So Mote It Be.

A man in deep, inner thought.
Is there anybody out there? 
Just nod if you can hear me.
 
 
 
 
 

My mother Bessie, aka Mammaw, passed to the other side on 1-8-93.  Not too long after that, Voodoo Child went through some "Changes".  Voodoo Child was lost in herself, her mother was gone, and oh how relevant these words were then:

"Ah, the book unfolds, the epic goes on, another chapter is concluded, and the child becomes a parent."

"Mammaw" was a legend in her own time.  She, too, was a natural born witch and a self- learned philosopher, as well as being a "High Riding Bitch"
who's legend and legacy will never die.
