Writing

 I wrote this somewhere around last May or June.  I think it certainly still applies to both myself and many of you who read this.

The Animator

Animator, set me free in 2D

I will be working on the depth in time.

Create this new person; give life to me!

Make me leap off the page and feel sublime.

Draw a vibrant world all around my sketch;

Be sure to pencil in the sun and moon

So that when it’s time to go home and stretch,

My universe stays here; my own cartoon.

Do not forget to color in the frame,

For it’s the hues that send my mind racing.

Do not keep me stuck in a holding cel,

For it’s movement that gets my feet pacing.

Outline a big heart with love I can fill;

One that fits the person I know I am.

Craft someone to share it with and fulfill

My wildest dreams, Like You did for Adam.

I feel some things in my life are constant;

Perhaps they should move with the orchestra.

And I feel some things are too important,

I want them to last a little extra.

And some moments I want to last forever.

Keep them in my heart to never sever.

And they will in this cel;

One out of thousands.

The one I will frame

Hasn’t been drawn yet.

Oh yes, it does apply. Very much so, at least in my case. I think I see now what you meant when you said we have “eerily similar” fears. Haven’t had much of a chance yet, but I’m going to go back and read the rest of your entries. Btw, it’s still not fair that you can write AND paint. Not fair at all, some people have all the luck LOL
