hark
hark back,
the angels say,
to rough wordless stories
of when the world
was new
and we believed
in matter
and miracles

our eternal tales
(and the best tales are all eternal,
aren't they?)
tell of the secret spaces
between heartbeats
where we reside,
and grow up,
and,
momentarily,
die

we want to believe
in the simplicity
of breath
and dirt
and forgiveness
but they seem far away from us
now
like the way you witness the stars,
a burnt-out pantomime,
a memory
in this world made in your own image,
not in ours.

I really really really really like it. I can't even place what it is, in fact, I'm not sure why. But something about it makes me want to paint it on my walls. Really, amazing work.

It's great. The way you managed the lost hopes of modernity. Like those angels far away as our illusions, burning so far from us to reach them. God as our reflection and not us a reflection of god.

Very nice. In that way I understood it.

wow, thanks guys. maybe my work IS finally maturing, and I don't even realize it. that's why feedback is so wonderful! and I'm glad some people are liking it. *beam*
:iconpahnna:
geesh thanks! i guess the impression i wanted came across some, though you word it much more eloquently and succinctly than i would... *laugh*

well that's quite a compliment! thanks. it's funny how sometimes the pieces i like least or think are worst come out pretty well in the end--or at least speak to me or someone else, in some way! awesome.
