Mardi Gras Night


we watch
as stars
parade in
glistening float
throwing their
treasures to earth

Helen,
SO...you collect beads, eh?

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

(smiles) Awwwwww, I love this, sweet friend, Mardi Gras is always a holiday I find to be colorful and amusing and always makes me want to get up and dance! (kiss on cheek) This is beautiful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Breasts a'showin,
Liquor flowing,

This...hmmm...what could I possibly say?

I read this earlier and thought that this metaphor was graphic, and romantic, and accurate!

It's one of those images y'have to KNOW--to know. I thought, "she's right. It's just like flashes of beads past the eye...comets, shooting stars..." You have to be QUICK to catch them!

I love this.
