This is the cover to the book I made as mentioned in the previous post.
The text I had to come up with quite fast as the book had to be more about the actual illustrations and I wanted to put most of the time into those and the actual production of the book. I wanted to write it in a lyrical style, as I thought this would fit in nicer with the theme of the pan inspired character I came up with. It goes thustly:
Through forests and fields,
A'lii would prance.
The music he played,
made all creatures dance.
One day, though, he fell,
fell into a well,
Where he had gone to,
no one could tell.
After some time,
rumours did spread.
Soon all creatures cried
"Great A'lii is dead!".
What enough beings believe,
can sometimes come true.
A'lii's soul it left Earth,
and to limbo it flew.
Because of strong assumptions,
A'lii's soul was captive.
Back on earth the thoughts of greed,
became more attractive.
Nature was destroyed,
music became business.
Back in purgatory,
A'lii became restless.
On Earth there was hope though,
not all was corrupt.
A reaction to greed
was about to erupt.
Empowered by this,
A'lii's spirit did rise.
He fought the Gatekeeper,
It met it's demise.
Back to Earth he returned,
to reclaim his position.
Rising from the trees he loved,
salvation was his mission.
End...
And that's it. Each verse written under the accompanying illustration.
