When The Clouds Stop Crying
By: Noah Eaton & Marti
8/8/02

I love the magical
Mystery of clouds
Sometimes just one
But often in crowds

Down in the glens
Licking the marshamallow billows
I watch some become smores
Drizzling like raindrops from weeping willows

Floating like cotton
Across an open field
Dabbing up moisture
As if to heal

Don't talk
Can you hear approaching thunder?
Palindromes of Thor
Scintillating through skies of summer

Snarling in anger
Black, raging with fire
Striking bolts of venom
Tears of muck and of mire

Until the clouds stop crying
Where God displays a kaleidoscope smile
A rainbow over these crowds of clouds
So bright it makes the whole world smile awhile ...[/i]

"Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..."

Noah and Marti, this is really beautiful. I'm saving this one in my library. The graphic didn't show up but the words make up for it. Just gorgeous.

You look inside my wild mind
never knowing what you'll find
still I want you all the time
yeah I do
'cause you get me

What wonderful compliment you both bring to each other. Wonderful thought in spectacular images. The best thing about duet, I have learned, is the way it brings us out from our typical wonderful way, and opens the richest fudge filling! Great job. ThisDiamond
