Why Ghost Of Jim Morrison Still Haunts?

Why movies are made, why people still craves to be like him, why his poetry still shines, why Jim Morrison never fades in oblivion. Every generation celebrates his grandeur, he isn't just an immortal singer, he is a revolution. 


He epitomizes pain and his pain every time tells a new story. Rebellion, anger, agony, chaos, disturbed life, darkness, wait for death, disaster, midnight howls, sleeplessness, nightmares, gothic encounters in the middle of a crowded side walk, lust. Things that humanity disregards, disapproves, denies and abhors.  The surreal dusk still haunts, the intensity in his eyes still give you enough reason to die young. 


Why life’s not so fine every time? Why the shadow of losing someone, something creates cacophony, why the turmoil and leaving the very world creates noise in your inner galaxy, why things fall apart without any indication. Why the greenery squeezes your blood, why beautiful things make you bleed. The agony is unbearable when you see all roads are leading you to hell. Where pain is inevitable and happiness is just like a myth that ever existed in your childhood. 


Slowly a distant ray of hope tempts you to indulge in life’s luxury. You try to forget the approaching thunder; you conquer the fear of death. Slowly the ghost of Jim descends in your world, makes you feel comfortable with his poetry and songs. Slowly everything looks bright, slowly you begin to greenery, slowly your mind is seduced, slowly you begin to inhale the bliss in your pain. 


The rotten parts of your existence gets erased, you live with a hope to heal the incurable scar, you get redemption in his words, you evaporate, you fly, you feel every little nuances without feeling the pain, the pain no more exists in your galaxy, it takes you away from the ugly world, it makes you immortal, strong and out of this world. It bridges the gap between you and God…
