 Prayer By: Noah Eaton 4/17/03 Children duck in the shadows Dissolve into the colors like a reverie gone astray Feels like the moon is hidden deep in the thief’s back pocket Trying to fit in the body of a promise I could partake So souls of men, why will ye scatter? Lying beside each other in your graves Rinse these glasses for the believers So we can drink in comfort… In my place I’ve seen Siloam’s shady rill Saw the Rose of Sharon weep in attestation Couldn’t tell if it was His voice speaking to all the lambs Saw white prisms dance in their own intercession So souls of men, why will ye scatter? Lying beside each other in your graves Rinse these glasses for the believers So we can drink in comfort… I see Mary standing out there in the garden Hoping perhaps they can be another bountiful immaculation I see her wear a blue mask half the day away Seems what you believe and what you see is put in moderation Come on down to me I’ve got to ask for your blessing Because I’ve came here with a load I see a wideness in your mercy Rinse these glasses for the believers So we can drink in comfort… Come all angels, ever singing with grace Awake my beating heart to the rhythm of the sun Sing my song backwards Lend me the ears to listen and let me come Come all angels, embrace your Brothers Crown Him with more crowns As I sit in this chapel, I shall reflect on all I’m blessed And upon all that I’ve wronged and all I regret… If I could only tell you what I see… Tell me what you see… What you see, what you see, what you see What you see is a blinding light… What you see, what you see, what you see What you see is a warning sign… What you see, WHAT YOU SEE, WHAT YOU SEE Temporarily blinds…  . . . . . And I hold this lamp, asking for your light I see your pale eyes bleeding I realize there’s no east, no west, no onieromancy Joyful, I find myself embrace Thee Shall we gather at the river now? O come, all you faithful siblings Rinse these glasses for the believers So we can drink in comfort… So I come, the Great Redeemer cries In blessed assurance, Jesus is mine So I come, the Great Redeemer cries In blessed assurance, Jesus is mine… So I come, the Great Redeemer cries In blessed assurance, Jesus is mine So I come, the Great Redeemer cries In blessed assurance, Jesus is mine…  And that's the most wonderful thing about creating. It will always be a mystery. ***Shakira*** [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (04-17-2003 11:04 PM).] |

This is amazing, Noah... you write with such skill and imagination, it really, honestly makes me envious. The images you've conjured here, combined with the beautiful way in which you worded everything... it all comes out just perfect. The style you used, was kind of song-like... is this intended to be sung?  Oh and while I was reading I copied a stanza to paste when I replied. quote: That's definitely my favourite stanza. Excellent, excellent work, Noah. Oh and, love the new pic.  Parasite God becomes as |

Fascinating and philosophical poem. I like the way you've placed the repetitions and subtle ironies in this piece. I'll be adding this to my library I think. 2+2=5 for sufficiently large values of 2 |

Noah, I don't know how I missed this the first time around, but I am so glad that it came back around. I love the whole thing, but this part especially..... Come all angels, ever singing with grace Awake my beating heart to the rhythm of the sun Sing my song backwards Lend me the ears to listen and let me come Hugs, friend  Ethel |
