Tornadic Variations
By: Noah Eaton
4/24/01

So sweep me up into your divine funnel
Mingling with the inspirations of countless minds
Visions flash before my eyes
In all sorts of shapes and sizes

Sucked around and around in a dextrosing cyclone
Love, fantasy, sorrow, wisdom cast before me in original fashion
Breaststroking against the vertical tide
Falling and rising against a current of technicolor dolphins

I use my wings for resistance, pacing myself to your thoughts
Tip-toeing two steps upon this confidant trapeze
Losing myself into deep innovation
I see feasibility in every desire, burning brightly before me

Chasing down a fragment of a dream, one by one
Putting them together to behold your inspirations
Blending dreams from one mind to another, there is no chaperone
Painting both the understood and the fathomless in delicate aesthetics

Heart ever beating fearlessly, the mind turning every second
Tornadic variations revealing poetic sincerity, touching each others hearts with shared expression
The winds briefly calm, breathing in relief as one inspiration is complete
Then the funnel falls down again, ever feeding ones self with voice and knowledge

Classic yet abstract. Very insightful. Lovely piece my friend.
