NO CRITIQUE PLEASE

For  devin-da-husker
She had to make the worsts decision a human being has ever to make. Sara, that's her name, right? I don't even really know how she looks. I'm sorry, but the only pic of her you have wasn't that good as a color ref. So I had to work it out by myself. When you have more photos of her I make a new pic. I hope you read my last reply on your first journal entry about her. I mentioned that you never should forget her. I'm so sorry hun, I'm so sorry. And I'm sorry that it's so sloppy done, but it's hard to see everything through tears.
I'm so sorry you lost her, but this is the only thing I can do from the other side of the world. And please, remember her as the beautiful dog she was, even if it hurts to remember.

Loreena McKennitt - Dante's prayer

When the dark wood fell before me
And all the paths were overgrown
When the priests of pride say there is no other way
I tilled the sorrows of stone

I did not believe because I could not see
Though you came to me in the night
When the dawn seemed forever lost
You showed me your love in the light of the stars

Chorus:
Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me

Then the mountain rose before me
By the deep well of desire
From the fountain of forgiveness
Beyond the ice and the fire

Chorus

Though we share this humble path, alone
How fragile is the heart
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly
To touch the face of the stars

Breathe life into this feeble heart
Lift this mortal veil of fear
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
We'll rise above these earthly cares

Chorus

Please remember me
Please remember me, ...

Midway upon the journey of our life
I found myself within a forest dark,
For the straightforward pathway had been lost.

Ah me! how hard a thing it is to say
What was this forest savage, rough, and stern,
Which in the very thought renews the fear.

So bitter is it, death is little more;
But of the good to treat, which there I found,
Speak will I of the other things I saw there.

I cannot well repeat how there I entered,
So full was I of slumber at the moment
In which I had abandoned the true way.

But after I had reached a mountain's foot,
At that point where the valley terminated,
Which had with consternation pierced my heart,

Upward I looked, and I beheld its shoulders,
Vested already with that planet's rays
Which leadeth others right by every road.

Then was the fear a little quieted
That in my heart's lake had endured throughout
The night, which I had passed so piteously.

-Quote from Dante Alighieri's "The divine comedy"
