Just out of my reach

Just out of my reach
behind tightly closed doorways
the keys to your heart

Thunderhead crashing

Thunderhead crashing ~ 

electric jolt of silver ~ 

as my heart lights up 

My heart flies outward

My heart flies outward ~

dancing in the summer skies ~

like spent hanabi

Like the morning breeze

Like the morning breeze
light touch as your fingers sing
closer to my heart

My heart falls slowly

My heart falls slowly -
bounces from pavement below -
and up to the stars

My brain is yawning - 

but will never fall asleep -
'til my ship comes in

Another O'Hare Airport UFO spotted on August 4, 2008

While waiting in the lobby at American Airlines Gate K-7 at Chicago O'Hare International Airport, my wife noticed a disc-shaped object hovering at an altitude of several hundred feet outside the terminal's large glass windows to the WSW at 7:01 pm.

Unknown location

Unknown location 

in an empty hotel room 

my heart has checked out 

Cigarette smoke curls
from a river of dreaming
in haunted silence 

Strangers walk past
on an overcast side walk
lost in Seattle

In timeless moments

In timeless moments -
I know you are there floating -
high above my heart 

En momentos eternos -
sé que están ahí flotando -
muy por encima de mi corazón

In times of danger -
I put my best foot forward -
and take a deep breath
