(Here's a poem for another special friend to us all, who always makes me smile with her wonderful surreal words that you can actually feel rising and falling like nature. You are so special to us all and your words always feel like an art gallery to me I see in my mind, God Bless You, this is for you Lauren! ) Shades of Green Eyes By: Noah Eaton 9/21/02 From behind framed windows of sea glass green eyes Where poetry weavers manufacture Van Gogh illusions Where unfinished thoughts hang silently like tinsel from trees Shines the heart of our friendly sorceress What eyes can not see she sees through fragments of poetic music Trinkling words down the canvas like raindrops of Xanadu Opening boxes of clouds, losing us in dreams and vertical horizons Her compassion like xylose to our souls, bringing medicine down that soothes She glissades in a ballet of shades Celebrating her kin, a step-daughter of Solomon Reveling colors and atmospheres, sparking her son et lumiere Tangling the moonlight and melting candles with surreal insight Where the willow tree grows is where butterflies elapse She being our youthful butterfly, everyones inseperable sister Her every breath like the release of an evanescent angel That you can't see but can feel dancing with sonatinas in color blizzards She comes conquering our hearts with a masquerade of splendor Evoking passion like orchids and snow, with words that somersault Bearing the name of Lauren, our green-eyed goldfinch Spilling tears of gorgeous words that cascade slowly like raindrops down through our hearts... "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." Shakira [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (09-21-2002 10:22 PM).] |

Noah now you just knew this wouldn't get by me without seeing it and am I ever glad that it didn't slip through while I wasn't here. This captures every essence of Lauren and her wonderful sharing and caring heart, her sensuality and gift of vision. Oh Noah, this is a gem she will treasure forever and thank you for writing this for our precious You are pretty darn precious yourself ya know? BIG hugs to you. If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream... |

Noah, this is just beautiful. You have captured the essence of lovely Lauren. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

Noah, I couldn't agree more. Nice job. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
