Inspired by the song, "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd Where Have the Ponies Gone? Reign, I hold with grip of age in gaze upon suspended ride forgotten gallop, forgotten glide of Pretty pink ponies painted in pastel pallette Carousel colors, conjured in days before E=MC squared and pi was defined Before black and white clotted my mind Before pigments faded to figments in serene saline And years Slowed me to march in place, with tighter grip of reign for fear of elder fall from grace and Novocain sane “The child is grown; the dream is gone. I have become comfortably numb.” -Pink Floyd [This message has been edited by Patricia (09-30-2003 09:50 PM).] |

  (big hugggsssssss) Every one of us has to go through hallways of black and white I feel, the first 12 years of my life were like this and almost feel like "Comfortably Numb" in rewind! Now, I have grown but see the world in color and have my child singing deep in me still! (sigh) This is powerfully poignant, sweet friend, God Bless You, you have said one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Patricia, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

ahhh Patricia My favorite album and tune my anthem . . . "When I was a child I had a fever My hands felt just like two balloons. Now I've got that feeling once again I can't explain you would not understand This is not how I am." Beautifully done xxoo |

Yeah, who is that gal? Wait....I think the elegance of "Lady" is most certainly appropo for this woman... Yes, most assuredly so. And such pleasant eyes... You have been inspired well.... |

Dang! I almost missed this piece. You've captured a piece of REAL TIME with this, and penned another gem for my library. THANKS! I love Pink Floyd, and just introduced my teenager a few weeks ago to THE WALL. We watched the DVD version together, and I wish all parents and teens would view this together at least once. |
