(Just something I brought out of the closet, Just dusting it off to remember where I came from...)


Colors surround me all through the air,
Child time gaiety rhythm and prayer.

We flounce about on Clouds of Gold.
We are considered The Clown and The Rose.


But...
A shot of Darkness flung through the air.
Leaped from The Clown and struck The Rose bare.
Now the make up is smeared and the petals astray.
Our masterpiece ruined as the paint drifts away.
The canvas is shriveled and thrown on the ground.
The colors have faded the clouds have turned grey.

My clown doesn't make me laugh this way...


(1986) Jennirey

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Jennifer, this is so very sad, my heart goes out to your tears from before and I hope now you have found true joy and your canvas has been remastered to perfection! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is sad but wonderful! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jennifer, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

jennirey - I see sadness written in these words. But told in a way that I haven't seen before. Excellent write...

Sad ending here reminds me of the sparrow that dies on the thorn of a rose he held dear(Oscar Wilde)
