Saluting with misty eyes

0 posted 2004-01-20 12:57 PM



I wasn't as far along as I'd hoped
My career was a terminal stop
Music, a jealous mistress, they said
I felt I had no other choice
So I agreed on the deal he gave
My one darkened sale to make
As I sat there signing on the dotted line
Knowing full well what was done
It occurred to me something was wrong
A missing piece to be found
Looking at this being I faced
To whom I'd just sold my soul
"Shouldn't I have siogned in blood," I asked
"Can this deal be binding and true"
He smiled back so warm and serene
Suit of white, eyes so piercing and blue
"Something you forgot, oh child of mine
Evil is not the only buyer in town."

Cause in my dreams it's always there
The evil face that twists my mind
And brings me to despair.

This is VERY cool!  Not a twist often seen, I must say I like it

Oh, when we dance with the devil.
This fits in so many lives in ways
we sometimes cannot comprehend...at first.

Gotta watch that fine print, Ringo.

Good job!

So does that mean you are busy on Sundays?

Very nicely done.

In your light I learn how to love
In your beauty how to make poems
You dance inside my chest where
no one sees you and that sight becomes art

(big angel hugs) And if it is, well, consider me quilty as charged, LOL! (smiles) You know how I love music and that we both love John Lennon and that I write my own music and this year am hoping to get signed to a label to express my voice to the world, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Bradly, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
