Treetops Listen For Dreams

This my most recent acrylic painting inspired by the Cyndi Lauper song, “Time After Time.”

Time After Time

 

This song touches my heart, soul and inner being because I once was that Young Woman. An outcast. An outsider. Seeking. Yearning. Wondering. Only my parents let me be me. If not society. See you soon Mom & Dad.

 

 

Time After Time

Cyndi Lauper

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick
And think of you
Caught up in circles
Confusion is nothing new
Flashback, warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories
Time after

Sometimes you picture me
I’m walking too far ahead
You’re calling to me, I can’t hear
What you’ve said
Then you say, go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you’re lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting
Time after time

If you’re lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting
Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows
You’re wondering if I’m okay
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time

If you’re…

My Ancestors ~~ My Heritage

I find my Identity in Them

 

 

These are Ancestor Heritage photos were mostly taken during the 19th Century not too long after Civil War.  Mostly from my Dad’s side mainly Dad’s Mom, My Grandmother Eva Gordon Palmer.  Others were taken during the 1940s and 1950s.

The more recent ones especially those with my parents, Stephen and me were taken during between 1959 when I was born up to and including the early 1990s.
