OUTTA HERE (NOOSPHERE)
A song/demo from a collaborative, cross-panel, inquiry-based and experiential learning project called "The Tikbalang and Me." The project will culminate in a one-act, musical theatre and multimedia production intended for a target audience of grades 6 - 8 students in Canada. Additionally, the project will result in a recorded album, a graphic novel and/or an animated film adaptation.
While "Crossing The Threshold" (a stage of the "Hero's Journey"), the main character of the story undergoes a seemingly surreal experience. Indeed, a mythical creature from Philippine folklore - a Tikbalang - manages to whisk him away to a parallel universe.
For another perspective on "the human condition," it is highly recommended you follow the poetry of @d-pend. In particular, have a listen to "Molecules, puppets, and plays" It is exemplary work! - steemit.com/dsound/@d-pend/molecules-puppets-and-plays
LYRICS:
OUTTA HERE (NOOSPHERE)
Day after day
It’s the same
I want outta here
Stuck here on earth
What’s it worth
Wanna disappear
Light
Space
Time
Let’s get outta here
Five starting here
Transform there
Through infinity
Points on a plane
Curve through space
Multiplicity
Light
Space
Time
Let’s get outta here
Life, rolling spools
Spreading shades, colour pools
Tracing bands, will endure
Memory, free and pure
Stir and evolve
Light the spark
Exclamation point
Change in my mind
Mystic shift
The Omega Point
Light
Space
Time
Let’s get outta here / To the Noosphere

Great way to mention a fellow Steemian. I haven't had the chance to listen to d-pends work, although I have seen it lately in my travels at dsounds. All the best.
I love the work that you are doing! I’m also doing the #dolphinschool challenge and I mentioned this post in my blog: https://steemit.com/writing/@lilyraabe/why-this-artist-started-using-steemit Cheer! :)
Dang way to go with getting acknowledged for your post. Upvote from @d-pend himself. Cheers.
Never was into poetry but I do like light, space, and time.
Many thanks. I am impressed by your latest post too!
Keep up the great work.
This is a solid post, however, I cannot accept it as an assignment for revenue split today, because you did not use either the #dolphinschool or #markrmorrisjr tags, and that cannot be corrected in edit. It wouldn't be fair for those that did. For day 2, please include those. I like your use of imagery, and the music itself is fascinating. As a music theater director, I loved how the two voices are used as primary instruments, allowing the lyrics to come front, without it feeling immediately Broadway. Great review of the piece and excellent writing. I also like your use of a link to your ideal followers work. If your tags were correctable, this would be a candidate for the revenue share post.
Disappointing.
I tried to add the tags but I think I must have made a typo in DSound (#dolphinschoolma) - although I am not certain how I managed to do that.
It has also been a frustrating day because was out of bandwidth for the last several hours.
