A Perfect Circle
By: Noah Eaton
9/7/03

Vicariously I take these fingerpaints
Spilt from the forgotten palette
I stare at a symbol on some strangers driveway
Hoping its artist didn't forget

Perhaps I can build a ladder to the sun
Suspend this religion and encourage everyone
To train them to dive into this abyss
Oscillating in synchronized harmony

I've been staring through these thin doors
Peering through electric windows
Hearing children gossiping about constellations
Soon enough they'll join the vigil
Then these fingers can draw
A perfect circle...



Walking through this Walpurgis Night
Swimming through a sea of dragonflies
Wearing paper hats on all our heads
Running for cover, running for the daylight

Arranging down these roads these warning signs
Holding a box of rain without an address implied
Skimming through corn fields for its owner
Looking for the headlight in this firefight

I've been staring through these thin doors
Peering through electric windows
Hearing children gossiping about constellations
Soon enough they'll join the vigil
Then these fingers can draw
A perfect circle...

Clarity is not a one-eyed Cheshire cat
Not a cardboard pirate riding an aluminum ship
Teach your children to draw halos with their fingers
Show the world how to frame the full moon with the eclipse...

The way to love is no Sunday matinee
You've got to go with the flow everyday
Time to jump off the moon
To where heaven can see us and draw a perfect circle...

A perfect circle
A perfect circle...
A perfect circle
A perfect circle...








I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth
I can see the sun set and I perceive

Noah, My dear sweet friend , this is absolutely wonderful.You always touch the heart and souls of  many.I try ot encourage my children everyday to try, always try.You'd be amazed at what you can do.I never in mylife thought that I was a good enough artist to decorate cakes, but nine years later here I am and I love it.I hope all that reads this gets the wonderful meaning that I got.

"'Perhaps I can build a ladder to the sun"

~ If anyone could do that, it would be you!


"Teach your children to draw halos with their fingers"

~ an absolute must!  Mine could do it before their first birthdays! lol

Noah, I certainly hope that I will be able to hear you singing your songs some day! The lyrics are so rich and colorful!

Loves 'n huggums,
EA

Noah
gosh i am in awe, that something that started so many years ago is still alive and living

"give peace a chance"
quoted from within a song

and another good one from the same person is "Imagine" from John Lennon. Amazing what came out that man's mind.

Good writing

The way you move me
I walk with your shadow
With your silhouette
Leave the light on
It always comes
Back to you
