Description Whoever said that silence was gold,
Has never been told
The story of Emily,
And the secrets she holds.
This child has uttered not one single sound;
Her lips have been bound.
Abused the mute heavily,
Her spirit has drowned.

But.
In her dreams she lies,
Lies beneath cerulean skies
In a meadow humming lullabies;
She’ll close her eyes.
In her prayers, she’ll rise.
Rise above, leave the tears she cries.
In her hands she holds a bright surprise.
Strength beyond their size;
..a pair of golden butterflies.

In a cellar so cold, chained to the floor.
A vacant, shivering core
Pleads for salvation;
A cry You couldn’t ignore.
Though her screams cannot be heard by the ear,
You can’t miss the fear
In furrowed brows, wide eyes;
Fright unavoidably clear.

But.
In her dreams she lies,
Lies beneath cerulean skies
In a meadow humming lullabies;
She’ll close her eyes.
In her prayers, she’ll rise.
Rise above, leave the tears she cries.
In her hands she holds a bright surprise.
Strength beyond their size;
..a pair of golden butterflies.


Emily,
Emily.
Don’t forget who you are.
Precious child of God,
An angel by far.

Emily,
Emily.
You breathe life into me.
Around your neck hangs a lock;
But, darling, you hold the key.

Because,
In your dreams you lie
Beneath a deep cerulean sky;
In the meadow you hum a lullaby.
You close your eyes.
In you prayers, you rise,
Rise above, leave the tears you cried.
In your hands you hold a bright surprise.
Strength beyond their size;

You gaze into, and release
…a pair of golden butterflies.

hmm... the words here remind me of a news story i heard a long time back. a girl who was kept in a basement, in a strait jacket, he first (15?) years of life. her mother finally found the courage and took her and ran to the police. they thought she was only a few years old, she was so underdeveloped.
i can't remember where this story took place, or even when.

..i'm sure that brought you down. sorry. it just reminded me of that news story, and the hope in the image gives me hope for that girl. i think she eventually learned how to speak and be a part of normal society.

wow, that's wild...and oddly -- i feel like that's how my Emily is. ...i wonder if she'll ever speak. she's okay otherwise; but i'd give anything to hear her voice.

Hey girl...i cant begin to explain how freaky it is that i come on here and read things when i do. I spent the past couple of days working with my 7 year old blind and mute who keeps showing me flashbacks like crazy via blackouts and what looks like sleep to the unknowing eye. I'm JUST starting to figure out what happened to her and boy, reading this today of all days...it makes me want to give her a voice too. Thank you. I love you!

aww.
thank you.
this seems to be everyone's favorite if they have any. and, i really think you've put the kindest thoughts behind it, though... instead of a 'hey, i like it'--there was something else that really made it feel honest. so, again, i really thank you.

thank you very very much-- and you're totally going to laugh at me and that's okay because i'm laughing at my own self for it--but ha, i don't even know what vector is!! haha, or i'd tell you. yes yes, sad as it is i'm an old-fashioned artist who lives under a rock and totally new to all of the computerrrr forms of art, so yes yes, sad, but i haven't a clue.

Myangelofmusic [2007-01-29 10:16:46 +0000 UTC]

this is really beautiful.. the blured backround gives the image movement as if the wind is blowing around her..
all is dark behind her, but she has light on her face as it is something symbolic..

beautiful imaginery.. and for your your first time I find it excellent! [my first was horrible! ]

well done, sweetie!
