If smiles must lead to dust
softly, beginnings,
do not touch
the moment I kiss,
winter arrives
drive around daisies drive.

paintings
of windows,
of dreams,
of fools,
symbols crashing
monkey teeth wind
the spiral is void
placed on a stick
whisper child,
set the world spinning

garden of upward
poet is standing
reciting a sunset
into the sky
unbinding the wilt
of lilt, of fire
arrive as a verse,
swooning the Spring

poet whose fingers
gather the strings
child upon page
scribbling terse
cannot cast
his crayons away
essence is gathered
as it is found

pretty gone trimmings
of Sodom’s decay
crayon shavings,
both colored and none
swept to the floor
like and both as
if smiles must lead,
truly, to dust
then smile again,
duly, I must

"garden of upward  
poet is standing
reciting a sunset
into the sky
unbinding the wilt
of lilt, of fire
arrive as a verse,
swooning the Spring," is MAD CRAZY COOL WITH CHERRIES ON BOTTOM OF A CHERRY SLUSH WITH THE REAL CHERRY COKE FROM SONIC! this stanza is IT! package them like this and adults will be transformed to children and be begging for your candy. (...up to here i hadn't absorbed the whole poem) so now, i think the whole poem has passion, i can feel it.  your pic has been painted. i'll say that the last stanza is awesum as well, as not to take away from the other stanzas...the whole poem is miracle grow!

(big hugggssssss) Yes, never let anything tarnish that child deep inside of you, for if life is not about smiling, then there is really no reason what a life is for! (sigh) Always believe in what makes you happy, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Walter, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Waltie Baby!
It was worth the wait. Or am I the one that's been gone? Cool and far out! You do know how to stretch my mind and that's a good thing.

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