Dawn at St. Mary's
By: Noah Eaton
6/1/02

I'm breathing synecdoches
Married to my ear
Skipping across amethyst skies in a pongee breeze
There's a chapel in the sky
Where angels light their candles
Where cherubs spread the pomace of life

I see it all, imbued in pompeian red
Polyphemus moths and bluebirds singing with them all
Rehearsing a catharsis in summary
Making an unlikely hero of every Scaramouch
Making comedies of every tragedy
Shaking a tree for every prayer

High above
I can quench my thirst of the drought
High above
I am only an angels arm-length from the stars

Here I can play Solitaire
With the butterflies, being a good loser
Watching them flutter happily to each winning hand
Streaking rainbow light through the morning view
Two-step in prism tango
Weaving a tiara for Mother Nature's head

I dig a ditch
To bury Gethsemane
Planting henna over all of God's country
Every time I watch the sun rise
Upon this high glacier
I can always hear Mother Nature cry happily in verse...

I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth
I can see the sun set and I perceive

***Live***

Noah: Spectacular poem and picture. Is this St. Mary's Lake in Glacier National Park, by any chance? What a wonderful write!

Good Grief this is good! Noah, I wish I had "words with way" like you do...

See, I can't even say that right...

This is just so spectacular!

Whether this is a repost or you just posted it for us, I am sure glad I got to read it!

You have talent so many, (myself mainly!) of us can only aspire to!

As always, thanks for sharing your work with us.

Hi Noah...isn't it amazing how God's wonders never cease to inspire. His creatures, and creations amuse, inspire, comfort, elate, strike us with awe, and sing a song to us!! Lovely as they always are. Such a delight and a treat it always is to read you. Thanks for sharing this one.

God Bless,
