You made these paintings
For us For the future you would never get to see And as I stand in a gallery of your art Mapping your journey as an artist From beginning to end I want you to know That all your hard work was worth it That despite all the challenges and doubts you no doubt faced We see you I see you. Missed a day because the first day in NY was kind of overwhelming (in a good way though!! it was a great trip) - Atlas

Adventure begins
Tomorrow What a wonderful, terrifying experience This is going to be So long (for a little while), folks - Atlas The story begins and ends
With silence. Everything between is but A brief flash Of color Light Sound Hope Pain Despair Longing Love (Life) So it goes - Atlas Bright lights
From the sky Begin and end the day With Perfect symmetry Such is the way of life - Atlas I am okay
Right now. I know I will not always be But right now --in this fragile, fleeting, eternal moment-- I am okay. Thank you - Atlas It takes immense courage
To plunge into the unknown The world is not kind to bravery But sometimes It is good Does this even make sense?? - Atlas I would like to be the place where the pain stops
And is reborn Into life, and love, and caring Really caring About everyone I meet I want to be full of life and love - Atlas The first steps
Of a tentative journey Begin here I do not know who I will be At the end of it but I hove hope That I will be kinder braver, stronger, and wiser Than when I began. So it goes - Atlas You are made of crystallized light
Glowing with every moment That you were ever touched by Made to illuminate the sky And the lives Of everyone you've ever met I love the pretty words but they lack substance - Atlas This will be a year of defining moments
Of hope, And fear Success and failure And trying again Memories--good and bad and bittersweet And oh, I don't want to forget a moment Not a single one I feel deeply afraid of both the future (immediate and distant) and forgetting But I'm going to face it Because life has a way of making us face our demons eventually - Atlas |
