Another day has come my way
I read a little, write a little
seems I cry and die a little
while words I cannot say
become images laid onto a paper backdrop
on a canvass painted in my mind


My music tells me I'm still alive
while my God tells me one day
I will shine
and the whiskey
makes me conciously wade through my brain
trying to grasp something, anything,
that will give me a life line... for tommorow


We all write and sympathize
while inward we seem to surmise
we've all been here
some of us stay here,
others never care to even visit
still others make it a pre-requesit
and yet others
stare at me from their glass house's
as if I were some circus act
they come to watch from afar
for their amusement


But lastly there's you


Feel you on the dark and dreary days
in the sunshine and in the haze
on a prayer, and in a dream
in a place
thats seldom seen
yes there you are
through the smog and out of the fog
that shields,
for an instant
the pain yields
hidden in the very depths of my soul
where I can only visit
as you come back to me...again

"hidden in the very depths of my soul

it's the dreams that get to me most....talking with people we love, who aren't realy there, don't really hear us as we tell them, we love them....

(big hugggssssssss) I too have been there, and though I never want to go back again, I do believe that abiding in such that realm makes us stronger and richer with love then we can relate better to our loved ones who may be sinking in shallows at the time! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is heartfelt, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Dennis, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
