28 thousand feet is too high to see the eyes straining upwards hoping to glimpse a dream. I’ve stood there Staring at the sky and passing contrail Thinking I would be there Heading someplace the world was different And I’ve flown From where I was to where I wanted or needed to be It all colors the same… The same crayons are used To color despair Hope Love Lonely The only difference is the shade Some greyer Some Blue Others muddy brown But the box they are drawn from Is still 64 colors short of what ideal seems outlined in the books we bind around the pages of I need Tell me… How do I plead These scrawled letters Into words And help you see The palette of what I would say Were my box of 128 Enough To show the bleed. of just once please touch me in gentle sigh that I am not left broken blank inside |

My friend...you could do it with a piece of charred wood from the fire and a cave wall... and in that, I have left you with thoughts to go forth with yet another poem. My Monday morning gift to you. |

With words as beautiful as these, if you can't make her understand, then there is no hope for any of us... This was thoroughly enjoyed. We are all equal but we’re individually different |

But the box they are drawn from Is still 64 colors short of what ideal seems outlined in the books we bind around the pages of I need Ron, i think this write is sensational. and i reckon this is autobiographical, judging from the replies? if so, hugs, my friend  |

Thanks to all of you... while not truly an autobiographical write... it was spurred by my recent trip to Seattle and flying. The colors of the landscape below me, often left me wondering about the people below and what it was they were thinking and if they looked as I used to..upwards wishing they could fly away from where they were. the hugs... ( chuckling).. hey? who doesn't like to be hugged???? so for those another big thank you... |

And help you see The palette of what I would say Were my box of 128 Enough To show the bleed. There is that longing again. Perhaps the sky isn't where you should look? A lovely, haunting read. Core [This message has been edited by Corinne (09-22-2003 06:37 PM).] |

It all colors the same… The same crayons are used To color despair Hope Love Lonely The only difference is the shade Some greyer Some Blue Others muddy brown But the box they are drawn from Is still 64 colors short of what ideal seems outlined in the books we bind around the pages of I need How very true... how beautifully written! *S* Excellent work, Cap'n! *S* |

Oh Ron...This has so much meaning for me in so many ways. With two children in the house, I can never find a pen quickly...so, I often write poetry with crayons (anything I can find before the words leave me). My best stuff is written in crayon. You are more awesome than I remembered if that is possible! A KEEPER! Patricia |

(big hugggssssssss) There probably is no logical answer, but deep down I say God made so many colors for us to play around with ourselves and I guess we just have to paint pretend that perception! (smiles) Oh Ron, I've been to Seattle too, I love it there, and in May of 2005 I'm moving to Portland, I'm loving this so I can be near the ocean finally, God Bless You and have a wonderful day, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ron, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

crayons, all different colors, but i think maybe they can all look the same. ask picasso, in his blue period, all the colors looked like death to him. somedays, the colors just blend together. that's why we have people to help us separate... and regroup. and even when everything was wrong, and we were mad at the world, it was still beautiful. |
