(One year ago today I got to see my favorite songwriter and artist, Shakira, with my friend Ms. Doyle (Paloma de Paz) in concert, yay!  That was my favorite memory of last year, and this is dedicated to my friend, and to the youth of the world to continue to embrace the spirit of the music and poetry!) Grace By: Noah Eaton 1/24/03 I approach the bright lights at ease Mothers speaking in my lungs, my father through my throat All my colleagues are lined up like militia Watch, because between the lines I'm going to be making waves Juxtaposing my blessings in this diocese And I will be the vicar forene and convert all my fears Oh, strum my heart like a tuning fork Start me up and I'll show you what this is all for Via media, up above, doesn't matter where I go Wait until I start up the show I'm not crazy, I'm just feeling feisty But I have a right to be once in a while So let me shake my tambourine! I'll shake it up I'll tune it up So turn it up I'm the graceful one!  Moth, come and dance with this flame Play by ear, need not pay for this telephone exchange Insert your coins to begin this cycle It's you, me, and the music Here where yield signs are forbidden on my avenues Watch as my legs dissolve like tapioca Repel these tidal waves of metaphors and paint in tempera Be temerarious, vibrate, vibrate, tuck your masks away Would you give anything to be Would you give anything to be? From my toes To my knees To my chest And onto my heart I'm astonished by this beat Cellophane wits and silicone pursuits Solecism one may say, but independence to another Just behold my somatology Just behold how I can move with God! I'll shake it up I'll tune it up So turn it up I'm the graceful one! Sirens used to blind me, the darkness became my exorcist I used to cry a river and live my life like a mad scientist But now I'll be the sommelier, the guest of honor Shilly-shally becomes shimmy when you vacillate You thought your image was Neapolitan ice cream You're everything, so rise to the podium and sing You're the architect, the spitting image The time is now, so let's get to business Some may say I'm selling my soul, but I'm only artistic Drink your ambrosia, assemble your seance Order a search warrant for any of the music in you Rock on, rock lobster, make a replevin Release the music in your soul, let it all out Bury yourself in the power ballad, sweet songbird You've got hands, you've got soul You've got hips that reverberate the living word Shake it up, shake it up, shake it up Shake it up, let your manifesto be accented out loud... I'll shake it up I'll tune it up So turn it up I'm the graceful one! I'll shake it up You know, you know I will I'll tune it up Dance with me now So turn it up You know, you know I will I'm the graceful one! "You are the music while the music lasts" And "the high note is not the only thing" So turn it up with God's liaison Be the graceful one! Be temerarious, tuck your masks away Would you give anything to be Would you give anything to be? Embrace Grace, embrace...  Quoted lines in respect to T.S Elliot & Placido Domingo "You'll find something that's enough to keep you But if the bright lights don't receive you You should turn yourself around and come back home" MB20 |

Noah, this is magnificent! You continue to write with such passion for life and it comes through loud and clear. I'm going to be making waves Juxtaposing my blessings in this diocese And I will be the vicar forene and convert all my fears I hope you never change and continue to make waves for what is right and just! Luvs and hugs, Marti I take no credit for my poems. Although I write them, I feel |

The concert sounded awesome! Thanks for sharing it with us. My favorite singer is Michelle Branch and I'd love to see her in concert some day. I like Shakira too. Hey, you ought to send her a copy of this poem!  ~sky Hold on, if you feel like letting go |

The best of the best... even these words do injustice. Perhaps it would be better compared to what I saw the first (and only) time I went snorkeling. Awsome! Grover. |

Noah, I'm singing and making as many waves as I can. You inspire, you give of your energy and you speak with soul. I love being witness to your metamorphic talent. SG |
