Back into the Fold

I’m back now from my time of metaphorical wandering. I don’t think I’ve solved the world’s problems, or fixed any of the things that were wearing at me, but I’m ready to be in the dA world again.

I wrote this song when I was about 16 years old. It seems to fit my mood of the last several weeks.




Links of Memory
(acoustic guitar/lilting old-ballad feel)

Remember when green grass was good to lie in
Among its tall blades we played

And remember how we ran through the fields and the woods
Oh how I wish we had stayed

For young we were and our hearts they were free
And the wind was our dearest friend

And we laughed and we sang through the smiling day
And hoped it would never end

But the years they passed flying and now we are chained
With the ways of the older world

No more do we run through the flowered fields
Where blooms opened and autumn leaves curled

How good it would feel how sweet it would be
To build castles in the sky

But the days like a bandit snatch time from tired hands
Leaving no time in which to fly

Remember when green grass was good to lie in
Among its tall blades we played

And remember how we ran through the fields and the woods
Oh how I wish we had stayed
Oh how I wish we had stayed

I’ve missed my friends!
Sometimes we need to walk alone, but it’s better
when you have a hand to hold.

I'm sorry folks, but I'm going to have to take a break from dA. I'm having a hard time keeping up with everything in my life and unfortunately something has to give. I apologize to all of you whose deviations have gone unread and uncommented upon in the past couple of weeks, and to those whose future deviations I will miss.

~LoveShotEyes I've been meaning to note you for the past several weeks. I'm so sorry my dear - I hope you'll forgive me.

I'm going to try to be back again in two weeks to a month, ready to contribute and read and comment on your wonderful works again. Until then, thank you for your patience and understanding. I miss you guys already.

How many songwriters do you know? I know a few, and I’ve written about 30-40 songs myself. So it was exciting to see in =BlackPeregrin’s journal (aka ~PublicAffairs ) that he is putting together a project to gather the best song lyrics from the DevaintArt community into one “best of” album.

I plan to submit my favorite song from the ones I’ve written and I hope you all will consider it too. Or if you’re not a songwriter pass the word along to any writers that you know of who’ve penned some lyrics. Here’s more information on this great idea. [link]

Let’s help =BlackPeregrin get this project off the ground folks!

As always, thanks for stopping by :aww:








Sneaking into Spring

Soon it will be spring, and for those of us in the north that means putting the bulky sweaters away and getting out less concealing attire. Sadly, I find that some of that bulk is not just the sweater! Oh dear! :faint:

And so I say – power to the sneaker for it shall lead us on the path to sleevelessness!
Fabulous Sneaker drawings and photos

I must walk far and fast tonight!

Beacons in the Night

For some reason I started thinking about lighthouses this week. Which is strange since there are only three lighthouses in the landlocked state where I live, and only one is actually usable for navigation! But I went on a quest anyway, and I have to tell you – I almost scrapped the whole project. There are enough images of lighthouses here on dA from everywhere around the world that it made my head spin. After much deliberation, I finally settled on the works below since they all caught my eye for one reason or the other. Hope you like them too!

Lighthouse by :iconrazzigyrl:

In the time beyond time
In the space between places
I will ever be your beacon
The voice that calls you home

I can hear your voice echo
your heart full of worry
but I'm right here waiting
And calling you home

My love, can you see me
a light in the darkness?
I'm shining for you, dear
Just come safely home

I see your ship rolling
Coming into the harbor
The waves, they look hungry
but you've almost reached home

In the time beyond time
In the space between places
I will ever be your beacon
The voice that calls you home



The Waiting by :iconniteowl9491:

Upon the golden shore of shards of dreams,
Where the bluest of seas meets the world
And a lighthouse of the purest marble stands,
Watching and looking upon those lost to guide them home,
She waits for one such voyager—
A wayfarer long gone and yet just as close as ever,
Never ceasing to follow the pale, faint light
That one day he knows shall lead him
To his beloved.
