Realm of sleep
sweet retreat
languidly lucid
hollow body acoustic

I fret
each finger seems
to scream
change of chord
my reward
bottleneck beauty
s-l-i-d-e
me
to
your
soul

Mother of Pearl
curl
with me
into this time
I keep
utter beauty
seep
into my veins
refrain
from leaving
this
sweet
retreat

My realm of sleep

(smiles) Yay! Oh my gosh, I have an acoustic and an electric guitar and love to play too, there's just something about moving your finger down the frets and you seem to lose yourself in this feeling you can't explain and become the music! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, and Bill loves it too, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

And that's the most wonderful thing about creating. It will always be a mystery.
