Hold Your Light Where I Can See It

No special effects here- SOOC except for the crop

What was it like to see
The face of your own stability
Suddenly look away
Leaving you with the dead and hopeless?

Eleven and she was gone.
Eleven is when we waved good-bye.
Eleven is standing still,
Waiting for me to free him
By coming home.

Moving me with a sound.
Opening me within a gesture.
Drawing me down and in,
Showing me where it all began,
Eleven.

It took so long to realize that
You hold the light that’s been leading me back home.

Under a dead ohio sky,
Eleven has been and will be waiting,
Defending his light,
And wondering...
Where the hell have I been?
Sleeping, lost, and numb.
So glad that I have found you.
I am wide awake and heading home.

Hold your light,
Eleven.
Lead me through each gentle step by step
By inch by loaded memory.

I’ll move to heal
As soon as pain allows so we can
Reunite and both move on together.

Hold your light,
Eleven. lead me through each gentle step by step
By inch by loaded memory
’till one and one are one, eleven,
So glow, child, glow.

I’m heading back home.
Awesome sky.

@jlbcape @rhos @yonnie Thanks. I actually went outside to capture a rainbow that was in the east. I walked down the road to get a good shot and then saw this in the west! I immediately thought (holy crap) I hope this comes out!

The song Jimmy was written by Maynard Keenan of the band Tool. He grew up in the city where I currently live. It is about his mom suffering an aneurism and becoming paralyzed when he was 11. It's a favorite song of a good friend and I thought the "Hold Your Light Up Lyric" was fitting for the pic if you were wondering- Jim

Awesome rays!

I'm so glad you explained the lyrics, Jim, thanks. How sad, what happened to your friend and his mom.

Anyone who is carrying painful memories of any type -- there's lines in that song that resonate.

The picture -- it's gorgeous.

Understanding the lyrics after that explanation, makes a lot more sense. Sad occasion but he's made it 'come home"! This photo is wonderful - i love to see the edges of cloud like this!

@calm Thanks

@ariel817 Thanks Linda, The song is not actually about my friend and his mom, it's just one of his favorite songs. The composer however, is from the town where I live. I met the mother at the apartment where she lived. She was very kind. This was long before I knew this song existed

The clouds here in Ohio have been extraordinary this year, but the rays of sun really were amazing to see. I wish I could have posted all the pics I took of them

@debsulzberger Thanks Deb! I think if God rested on the 7th day he is aware of the occasional need for a bit of computer relaxation time by us mortals.
