When the sky falls softly

When the sky falls softly
And the heavens roar

Don't forget to say goodbye

Wearing only your soul

I'll hold you in the light

Remember your temple
Has no stones

And your destiny is the sky

Things suck at the GOS. I have a bigger, political essay in the final stages. I'll cross post it if that's okay. It may go up tomorrow at the all new trainwreck of a GOS.

on dkos5 and it restored my soul not to mention my mind. Thanks OPOL. Hope you post again here, as I really do not want to look at huge pictures of Ben Carson's crazy ass face in order to wander around looking for a little humanism or cosmicism. I like change it's a good thing but man o man at this point I know a useless bamboozle disguised as a community blog when I see it in giant FP type. Your post both hereand there gave me the hopies in a good way. Beautiful and awesome pics and words. Peace out.

I will remember that the temple has no stones and that the sky is my destiny. I like how your son is one with the waterfall in the universe.

I saw this at GOS, ( scroll, scroll, scroll,), but I didn't click on it given the shambles that place is in. If you hadn't of posted it here, I would have missed the beautiful pictures and poem. So much beauty in a world filled with so much greed.

I'm doing a series of them. I made a bunch of monoprints, the prints were so eye-catching to me--I had to find a way to use them. So, I got some canvases and painted them up and went for mixed media collage.
