I remember the day I lost my head and threw out that painting, the brushes, paint and easel too Into the rain outside where the brushes lay like murdered bodies sprawled across my lawn Maybe it was the red paint bleeding off the canvas around them that made them look that way It may have had something to do with the day you asked me what I'd like to be after graduation An artist, I said after all that's what everyone believed I would be except for you You said I'd never make it I should become an air traffic controller because you read somewhere that they made good money So I guess I proved you right I was tired of fighting your opinions and finally believed them On that cold and rainy day I haven't been able to draw a single thing since But I can't blame you because after all you meant well all my life is full of your 'good' intentions that I let infect me (Don't mind me just venting things from days long passed) Raph [This message has been edited by Aenimal (11-27-2002 11:17 PM).] |

(sigh) This is a sad but wonderfull expressed first part, sweet friend, now on to the secon I go, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Raphael, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Noah your words are always appreciated Maree I'm glad you liked it and that is my favourite line too actually. It was actually one of the first which I sort of wrote the rest around. |
