on the open road with the wind blowing in my hair

you stopped, tried to talk
my bottle of jack interrupted you
i swear i tried to hear you
but the voice of the captain
drowned you out

i am one man
doing all i can
in an endless cycle
trying to escape


the only people for me are the mad ones-mad to live, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at once--jack kerouac

So that man sees the cycle
of doing all he can to escape.
Is he afraid to have some faith,
does he fear the good things?
Thinks he's unworthy? Undeserving?
Maybe he could just say a prayer.
A simple prayer,
that someone out there,
will care.

(big hugggsssssss) Just hear your conscience, give your chest a big push, smash that bottle on the ground, and declare "I CAN!" (sigh) This is powerful, sweet friend, I wish you the strength as I do to many others, God Bless You, you can do it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Noah, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Jack will do that to you. He's doing that to me at this very minute.
