* ... Eurus ...
... Afer Ventus ...
... so the world goes round and round
with all you ever knew
They say the sky high above
is Caribbean blue ...
... if every man says all he can,
if every man is true,
do I believe the sky above
is Caribbean blue ...
... Boreas ...
... Zephryus ...
if all you told was turned to gold
if all you dreamed were new,
imagine sky high above
in Caribbean blue ...
... Eurus ...

How Can I Keep From Singing?
My life goes on in endless song
above earth's lamentations,
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
that hails a new creation.
Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear it's music ringing,
It sounds an echo in my soul.
How can I keep from singing?
While though the tempest loudly roars,
I hear the truth, it liveth.
And though the darkness 'round me close,
songs in the night it giveth.
No storm can shake my inmost calm,
while to that rock I'm clinging.
Since love is lord of heaven and earth
how can I keep from singing?
When tyrants tremble in their fear
and hear their death knell ringing,
when friends rejoice both far and near
how can I keep from singing?
In prison cell and dungeon vile
our thoughts to them are winging,
when friends by shame are undefiled
how can I keep from singing*
Enya, Caribbean Blue

Happy Birthday Chris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is my gift for you, that I can't wait for you to hang up for real up to your home walls. It's my little way to thank you for the cuteness you share, and for the deep talks I can so often rely to.
I tried to show here, the beauty of your open smile, that is so caressing for me to see.
The song I have chosen, is my own favourite of Enya, and being she one of your favourite ever singer, I thought it was apter than anything else to hymn at you today :)
This community is richer thanx to you. But what here I celebrate, is the fact also people's life can be richer, if you touch them the way you've touched me.
May sky bless you and your beautiful family :) hope your sons and wife will love as well my little homage to you ( I still wanna make a family portrait of you all!!!!!!!!)
Enjoy your day today... with my greatest affection, your friend, Meli :)

You've found the bounding energy of youth and optimism in this face. The technique softly flits from feminine to masculine.
Wonderful work Meli. I love the use of the 6B for the shirt, it gives it a great texture to couterpoint the softness of the skin. Your choice of lyrics is perfect:))

Oh, I just love all these portraits.....such life - and such a lovely golden web of friendship they are weaving. You are such a dear!
Such a beautiful song to match this equally amazing portrait. He has a glint of overwhelming joy and loyality to his friend, as I know you have for him. Enya ia one of my favorite singer/songwritters. Her voice ia wonderfully crystal clear and always at perfect pitch! Another wonderful tribute!
To have such a present from Meli means that you are a very lucky guy. Congratulations.
I bow, drop to my one knee, and I proclaim I am at your service. I am blessed, humbled and greatful all at once. I wrote two comments and the other one disappeared. I am so honored by you, You are one of the most caring and beautiful human beings I have ever met. I am greatful! The song: Perfect pick: I love that song, her music is heavenly as are you sweet angel!!! I carry you with me for the rest of my days, always in my heart. A warm tender kiss and a long embrace.
