Smoke of NightSmoke of Night

How I miss the old fire
But the embers still smolder there.
Undying spirit cannot tire
A constant will to fly anywhere.

So sit around the candlelight,
And tell me stories of what's beyond
Help figure out what's right
Before the smoke of night is gone.

Breathe me back to life again
Strike the flint and catch the spark
I carry the torch from where I've been
My ashy tears have left their mark.

So sit around the soapbox now
And hear stories of what's beyond
Stay the course if you know how
And work til the smoke of night is gone.

Beat me in the forge again
Burn away the useless dross
All I have is what I am
Please purify what o

Pumpkin Scissors-PJ Ch 35Ch. 35
Dr. Caplan regarded Hunks from across her desk with cool amusement.

"Are you sure, Captain?" she asked, her tone mocking innocence.

Hunks glared at her and repressed a shudder. He hated owing favors, but there was nothing else to be done.

"Please, Doctor," he said quietly. "I need your help."

"Hmm," she replied. "How interesting you should want to prolong his suffering."

Hunks bristled at that. "You know that's not it at all!" He puffed on his pipe, restraining Mercury at the same time. Mercury whined, sensing his current master's sudden discomfort.

Caplan's smile was almost kind. What she said next was with a touch of pr

Brushing up on an old classic. [link] There were bits of this that I felt were unfinished, like the hair, and the collar. I'm also thinking about turning this into a print. Please let me know if that would be something you might be interested in.

This is dedicated to Poets of the Fall, who reignited an artist's passion, and to God, for sending them to me.

Note: This is a picture of hope. The tree is scrawny, but it's still alive. The sky is hazy and gray, yet the sun still shines. She clings to the one thing that has gotten her through, and as she does, something else appears, something wonderful and full of color. Suddenly, it's not such a bad day after all.

Thanks, glad you like it. ^^ Heh, I don't know if I could recreate the essence of it if I tried oils or acrylics. There's a point where every artist has to stop or else they ruin it.

A truly beautiful piece! I especially love her hair!

Though it makes me wonder why some of it is very fuzzy/fluffy, while the rest is dark and sketchy.

Thanks! I suppose it's because it was originally drawn with china marker and then lightly colored by Photoshop. You can see that a bit more in the previous version: [link]

This is a very beautiful picture... It reminds how even if you're having a bad day, or maybe even having it very rough there is still hope that comes from the Lord..Our Daddy.. And He will lead us through the storm, and if we cannot walk, He will carry us through the storm!

Absolutely! Glad you like it, thanks!

I like the style of it, and the scene reminds me of this place in Tennessee that I went for vacation a couple times. It has this one part that overlooks the valley below where there's just one lone tree. It's really small and bent up and it looks like it's growing in the smallest crack between the rocks. It's one of my favorite places to sit and think.
I also like your note on the picture.
Very nicely done

Lol-I'm a citizen of New Jerusalem- Naturalized of course. Serious paperwork. Jesus filled it out for me.
