This is where my psychic energy took me regarding the "Random Archetypes Challenge" hosted by @auditasum
Needs music. Open to collaboration and genre possibilities musically.
Below are the details on the card drawn for me that was the inspiration for the write. Thank you @auditasum for the inspiration.
Here are the card details below.
Self: the Poet. "The Poet's work is to feel immensely and not be afraid. They must seek out truth in the darkest corners of the world and carry it back for all to see... When the Poet energy is present, there is a call for deep honesty and reflection, for seeing the big picture within the little one."
Place: the Heart. "Either we are there, within the realm of expansion and compassion... or we have drifted somewhere else. There is no in-between. It is common for us to leave this archetypal center without realizing it, as the world, with its seductive twists and turns, offers us frequent departure."
Tool: the Prayer. "Archetypally, the practice of prayer has been with us since the dawn of time as a remedy for the self-centered thinking that spins us toward illusion. Prayer leads us beyond our ego, as we move from our little story to the big one."
Initiation: Kairos. "Mythic time. We have all had the experience of timelessness, of life beyond the ticking of the clock."
Dark Street Poet
My heart is a fortress
Seduced by the earth
And these ideas that surface
Unplanned when they birth
Some won't travel
To the places I go
Too much for the psyche
Of the average Joe
I'm the dark street poet
Third eye blind
Connecting to senses
Through my unconscious mind
Making observations
No one will do
I tell it like it is
But, that's nothing new
A free spirit's vision
Engaging the force
I expose what so many
Refuse to endorse
Seeking the truth
And whatever will be
I channel frequencies
Sharing what I can see
I'm the dark street poet
Third eye blind
Connecting to senses
Through my unconscious mind
Making observations
No one will do
I tell it like it is
But, that's nothing new
Endless cycles
No inhibitions
Harnessed meditation
Reflecting conditions
I'm the dark street poet
Third eye blind
Connecting to senses
Through my unconscious mind
Making observations
No one will do
I tell it like it is
But, that's nothing new
I tell it like it is
But, that's nothing new

Eloquent exploration and expansion of the card reading. Feels like a character study, and the character is the Self. The Heart as a place that we're endlessly tempted away from and called back to is a thoughtful and grounding concept. Can imagine these lyrics working in many genres.

That's a very good lyric.
