 A Perfect Circle By: Noah Eaton 9/7/03 Vicariously I take these fingerpaints Spilt from the forgotten palette I stare at a symbol on some strangers driveway Hoping its artist didn't forget Perhaps I can build a ladder to the sun Suspend this religion and encourage everyone To train them to dive into this abyss Oscillating in synchronized harmony I've been staring through these thin doors Peering through electric windows Hearing children gossiping about constellations Soon enough they'll join the vigil Then these fingers can draw A perfect circle...  Walking through this Walpurgis Night Swimming through a sea of dragonflies Wearing paper hats on all our heads Running for cover, running for the daylight Arranging down these roads these warning signs Holding a box of rain without an address implied Skimming through corn fields for its owner Looking for the headlight in this firefight I've been staring through these thin doors Peering through electric windows Hearing children gossiping about constellations Soon enough they'll join the vigil Then these fingers can draw A perfect circle... Clarity is not a one-eyed Cheshire cat Not a cardboard pirate riding an aluminum ship Teach your children to draw halos with their fingers Show the world how to frame the full moon with the eclipse... The way to love is no Sunday matinee You've got to go with the flow everyday Time to jump off the moon To where heaven can see us and draw a perfect circle... A perfect circle A perfect circle... A perfect circle A perfect circle...    I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth I can see the sun set and I perceive ***Live*** [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (09-07-2003 06:49 PM).] |

Noah, My dear sweet friend  , this is absolutely wonderful.You always touch the heart and souls of many.I try ot encourage my children everyday to try, always try.You'd be amazed at what you can do.I never in mylife thought that I was a good enough artist to decorate cakes, but nine years later here I am and I love it.I hope all that reads this gets the wonderful meaning that I got.

"'Perhaps I can build a ladder to the sun" ~ If anyone could do that, it would be you!  "Teach your children to draw halos with their fingers" ~ an absolute must! Mine could do it before their first birthdays! lol Noah, I certainly hope that I will be able to hear you singing your songs some day! The lyrics are so rich and colorful! Loves 'n huggums, EA |

Noah gosh i am in awe, that something that started so many years ago is still alive and living "give peace a chance" quoted from within a song and another good one from the same person is "Imagine" from John Lennon. Amazing what came out that man's mind. Good writing Bernie  A smile a day keeps the world in smile's. |
