CAROUSEL WIND: General Info

Member Since	12/1/2005
Band Website	http://www.musickingdom.com/
Band Members	THE IDEA OF MOUNTAINS One of the themes I play around with is the idea of mountains fading in the distance, becoming transparent and flying. I have done this through the use of Canada Geese which I have personally trained to fly in "V" formation. My goal is to encourage these majestic birds to spell my name across the sky. The most difficult letter of course is "S" because you have to get two flocks to fly in opposite directions on a near collision course. RETURNING TO THE SCENE OF THE CLIMB I stepped out the back door one morning and saw the light that had not yet graced the earth glowing in the wings of geese. I thought; "The least I can do is rise with the geese." This is about returning to the scene of the climb. "When I could climb the mountain I didn't—now that I can't I'm gonna." "I heard the cries that came from below." Were the cries from within me, or from people who were just down in the valley? I once heard the saying: 'A friend is like a mountain seen best from far away.' Then I happened on a poster of a peak with the caption: ''It's not the mountain that's stopping you; It's the pebble in your shoe.' So I shook out the pebble and headed for the blue. In the clear cold air of reality the mountain seems closer than it actually is. Close to the foothills you realize what the summit stands for. You see the mountain for the transparent thing it is—And everything it isn't. After you've reached the peak you have to challenge your personal best. "I don't think I'll ever rest until I've reached my Everest." I'm not putting a human face on an impossible dream; I'm putting a Godly face on a possible dream.
Influences	A long time ago I was on the incline And everything above The clouds was mine With the summit in sight A few steps to go I heard the cries That came from below I think I'm gonna make it I'm gonna make it Up to you I've made it To the mountain This time I'll see it through Stayed in the valley Put off the climb Mountain remained In back of my mind The valley grew quiet As time slipped away Kept telling myself I'll make it some day My dreams are filled With rocks and snow Triumphant air is thin You go as high As you can go And then Your climb begins I'm gonna make it I've crossed the abyss What is this mountain Does it really exist The impossible pile Of rocks that I face Is just an old friend I forgot to embrace © 1995 Stefan des Lauriers

About CAROUSEL WIND

~~~When men first landed on the moon, I was working as an armed human scarecrow at a cherry farm. My alleged duty was to sit on top of a rickety tower and scare the birds with a shotgun. To look the part I would often wear my poetry coat. ~~~My poetry coat had humble beginnings as a navy blue overcoat in the Salvation Army. I tie dye bleached it and inscribed poems in the faded blotches. The poems were kept on the inside, it being a time when I still had some modesty and occasionally opened up to bare my soul. ~~~Sometimes I would employ the poetry coat as my phantom surrogate. Using a water cooler in place of my head, I would put a straw hat on it, and place it where the railing converged. Then I'd prop up a crate and drape my coat with the shotgun holding the arms on the railing, thereby creating the illusion of being on the job. ~~~The only difference between an actual scarecrow and a human scarecrow is the human element. By removing the human element I was able to come down to earth and do nefarious things, such as sneak up on my friend Michael in his nearby tower. ~~~During the evening when flocks of starlings flew high overhead some of the young charges would blast their way through high heaven. Of course we were supposed to just scare the birds and not kill them. Nothing in the job description, however, specifically stated that we shouldn't perforate our fellow workers. ~~~So it was with quiet abandon that I made my usual climb up Michael's tower. The towers had a tendency to sway when mounted, so it was difficult to ascend in a stealthy manner. Approaching the last few rungs I heard a volley of shots. Michael peered over the edge. "Now Stefan," he said, "I knew you were up to something when I saw that crow land on your hat." ~~~Upon returning to my tower I was shocked to see what had happened in my absence. My beloved poetry coat had been shot full of holes. I opened the walking anthology, and saw how a fine spray had decimated my precious lyrics. Looking through the holes I came to the sad realization that there were words missing from some of my poems. And that was the first time it occurred to me that I should edit my work. ~~~© 1997 Stefan des Lauriers

Rosendo	Apr 7 2009 8:53 PM Stephen~ Dreams~ The winds have shifted and teetered me off course. However, the core is solid and is fueled continuously by desire and an undeniable stubbornness. The ship exhibits definite signs of strain from time to time, but for the most part is a reliable and willing component on this journey into a reality we have a hand in manipulating. We go as far as we can~ Have a blessed Sunday my friend. Rosendo
