Road to Rishikesh



On the road to Rishikesh
I was dreaming more or less
And the dream I had was true
Yes, the dream I had was true.

I'm just a child of nature
I don't need much to set me free
I'm just a child of nature
I'm one of nature`s children.

Sun light shining in your eyes
As I face the desert skies
And my thoughts return to home
yes, my thoughts return to home

Underneath the mountain ranges
Where the wind that never changes
Touch the windows of my soul
Touch the windows of my soul.

I'm just a child of nature
I don't need much to set me free
I'm just a child of nature
I'm one of nature`s children.
                                            John Lennon

Not one of the more famous "Beatle songs"  for the Three Muses challenge this week but  a classic "John"  mix of verse and music. Simple, symbolic and meaningful (John was my favorite). This piece is also for the Mix it Monthly challenge to use  the facial profile in our work.

    I remember when, before the Beatles were so famous, John Lennon contributed regularly to a monthly literary publication which I think was called "The Argosy". I was so impressed with his whimsical poems and short stories, accompanied by delightful sketches. He was so talented.
    I have to admit I have never heard of your choice of songs but I enjoyed the lyrics and I am in awe or your illustration. Superb.

    John Lennon was the brains of the gang. Gorgeous art piece, Lori.

    What a stunning illustration of an obscure (at least to me) Beatles tune. John Lennon was so talented. Too soon gone!

    Am listening to John as I type.
    Thank you for bringing this song to my attention.
    I confess I was more acquainted with Jealous Guy.
    This piece of art is fantastic Lori!
    I marvel sometimes just how timeless The Beatles remain.
    Happy Weekend to you and yours oxo
