Favorite Quote:
"Go to the edge of the cliff and jump off. Build your wings on the way down." - Ray Bradbury


You painted me a picture on a canvas stained with pain,
Of sunshine, perfect summertime in times of cold and rain.
Your words are reaching out to me with hands I cannot hold,
And writing books of melancholy stories never told.
You do not see the beauty of the shiny nights you bring.
You do not hear the passion of the song your friendship sings.
Your tongue knows not the language of the loneliness I speak.
Your smile breaks my being down,
it makes this anger weak.
So cry a bed of tears on me and lay on my concern,
'Cause I would never leave you all alone to live and learn.

The author's comments:
A good friend of mine called me one night, his voice quivering. I could hear his tears. He wasn't too happy with himself as a person. This was the best I could do to explain to him just how beautiful he was.
