Silver Queen Gondola
By: Noah Eaton
7/6/04

Just another spring dream for the May queen,
but I feel so happy I could scream,
give of yourself as the Angels do,
they say wonderful things will come to you.

Junebug polyphony fills the canny breeze,
children frolic in cotton candy meadows woolgathering,
fond hope inflates my air castle,
God is my Lord, and you and I are the vassal...

In a shapeless flame,
you feel his illustrious Name,
gently kiss your face,
as children dream,
in pajamas of ice cream,
on a Silver Queen Gondola to the stars...

Starships blink topaz in the distance,
tansy asters and chicory twirl to the stars on a whim,
cousins of the cosmos re-unite,
could this be the height's heyday or just the heyday's height?

White river cascades through the ice garden,
in the shaved ice paradise of a girl's phantasm,
she sees gossamer fawns musing about the Maroon Bells,
and in this moment she's happier than she's ever felt...

In a shapeless flame,
you feel his illustrious Name,
gently kiss your face,
as children dream,
in pajamas of ice cream,
on a Silver Queen Gondola to the stars...

The heavens come and massage me,
tuck me under blankets of hyssop,
children, I know there's an easier way to heaven,
then climbing the stairway...

In a shapeless flame,
you feel his illustrious Name,
gently kiss your face,
as children dream,
in pajamas of ice cream,
on a Silver Queen Gondola to the stars...
In a shapeless flame,
you feel his illustrious Name,
gently kiss your face,
as children dream,
in pajamas of ice cream,
on a Silver Queen Gondola to the stars...


"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

This was soooo cool, I could almost hear the song you must have composed to back this one.... in my mind, it sounds alot like "Lucy in the sky with diamonds" meets Winkin', Blinkin' and Nod.
Read it again.... had to add Xanadu too.
It is a refreshing read today.... made me smile from ear to ear.

I love this piece. I could feel the love radiating from it.
