Up I go
the thrill, the excitement, the joy
higher, and higher still
still rising, the laughter spilling out
like water from an unwatched tub
still upward, oh the fun
laughing, joking, shrieks of joy
hugs, holding hands, smiling
how much higher will I go?
here I am, the top,
the crest, the peak, the highest point,
I\'m off plummeting down,
faster and faster, I keep going down,
screams, shrieks, whoosh,
ow, something sharp just flew by
a small gash, nothing much,
gravity is winning, downward I fall
the blood breaks free
leaving me and gravity behind
as upwards it flies, up it\'s still going up,
or am I still going down?
go
the world spins
the clock ticks
the leaves fall
the earth changes
the world breaks
the moon cries
while stars die
a baby is born on this gray morn
in this,
our universe
walking
to the beat of a drum
breathing
to the same steady beat
following
the strong steady sound
keeping
everything together
with
a strong steady beat
following
the never ending
pulse
pulse
pulsing
I am a dancer
not graceful
my steps carry me
not across a stage, through a routine
but across the day with new twists and turns
I sweep through the morning
the steps starts out
slow, starting stoping and starting again
moving faster
slowly getting to a steady
pace; picking up speed
now at a breakneck speed
rushing through the day
until late
when they stop
and slowly move
slowly one step at a time
the performace comes to a close
the curtain falls
only to be raised
and tried again
with new twists and turns
a new show, but
the same actors
standing
looking
searching
I cannot find you
you are out of sight
I need you
to end this dilemma
to end this merciless state
where i look
but do not find
for I am lost
and I cannot find my way
silver
slipping through my fingers
beautiful
round
graceful
softer than silk
no more silver
slowly burning
gasping
writhing
that silver kept me alive
that silver, slowly fluttering upwards
small bubbles of silver breath
gone
I shall look to like
If looking liking move
Yet I know
One look at you
And I will like
One look ate me
A grin? Or is that a grimace?
A look at this
An apology
I shall look nothing more
I shall look to like if looking liking move
But no more deep will I endart mine eye
Than your consent gives strength
To make it fly.

Literature
you act as though you know
you act as though you know
who i am
but unless you are me and know my history
how could that be
you know not who i am
you do not know where i've been
what i've seen
who i've met
what i've done
you see and you think you know
you read and you think you comprehend
but in reality i am just words you read
a face you see
a voice you hear
you do not know who i am
why i sit here and write
you do not know what has inspired me
you know not my desires
i am in search of a dream
but it is not your dream
it is a dream that only belongs to me
and who i want to be
you do not know what it means
when i put my pen on paper
you know what

If one of your deviations was one of my favorites and is no longer, please don't take offense. I really DO like it, quite a bit in truth, but I am cleaning up all of my DevART related things; Deviations, Favorites, Wishlist, all of it. So thats all, nothing to do with it not being an awesome piece of art.
So I am now in college. I am taking 4 real classes and 1 not so real class. Though thay all assign homework, take attendance, and have class work. I am going a little nuts with the amount of homework from some of my classes. Like 168 2x2in drawings with sharpie. That was a bit much. The readings are fine so far but I don't know how long that will last. Maybe I will post stuff from the art class I am taking but right now I doubt it. Be well.

Y'all posted a good bit while I was away and you didn't stop posting so I JUST finished commenting on all of your work. At least for the moment I have nothing to comment on. Wonder how long it will last. I hope your summers were wonderful and I hope if I ever manage to post y'all with have something to say.
Keep living life and making art.
I'm really late in doing this, but I realized that niether of us reply to the comments you give us, and I just felt like saying THANK YOU SO MUCH for all of them, because really you're the only one who cares, and I just wanted to let you know we appreciate it.
