Unpainted Lines? Not for Long!

This summer job is flying by! I thought 2 months would be a long time to be away from home, but now that I will be home in about 3 weeks (:-D!) it seems much shorter. I'm still having a great time up here, and I know I will miss it when it's over. I just hope I can find a full-time/year-round job to start this fall. If not, maybe I can find something related to theatre or the arts in AR.

Since I work so much, I haven't been writing a lot. I did write a short poem a few days ago. Thought I would share it here. Enjoy! Comments/critiques welcome, even if you have to send them to me via facebook! :-D

I found a tangled web of unpainted lines
And painted them all in spite of
The pain in my arms and back.
My hand could barely grasp the brush.
Still, it can barely grasp this pen.
But I painted them all,
As I will write all of these words.
And I will do it all again,
For there is no stopping now that I'm going.
Now that I'm knowing all the things that I know.
The ladders I've climbed,
The words that I've rhymed.
All etched on a sacred scroll.
Now the bells begin to toll
As the clock strikes ten.
Time for a not-so-long drive home.
Tomorrow, we'll do this all again.

Also wrote this quote (same day) "For in the dark there are flashes of brilliance, moments of true understanding, and revelations which can change the way we see the world. Open your eyes and mind so that you may catch them." --SilveRSt*R

Oh, and here's a video to make you smile ;-)
