8263 Miles

Morning after your birthday

Morning wakes quiet

Charlie all white

My heart still red

Bled & tired

Ready to be fed

By the distant land

Of my father

The grandfather of time

Steps closer

How I wish to call

The times we shared

Still playing the background

On the Tele & the radio

The way your voice flowed

From room to room

Honey & bear

Claws me

Pause me

Stop letting me

Drift further

& further

Away

From the boat

Started a moat

Now oceans away

I will be soon

Away from you

Miles away

On the planet

Miles away

From your heart

Somewhere

Something

Deep inside of me

Will get me through this

Bliss

Hiss

& steam

Siting in the middle

Seat on the plane

The way to Asia

I’m sorry I couldn’t give

You the life you thought

You wanted

Or maybe I did

& couldn’t take it all

Once you see too much

Life changes us

Behind the curtain

The miles away

The music slows

My heart fades

Our memory plays

On the television monitors

Of the plane

Now our passports

Separated by

States & continents

The tracks

Of our fate

Moving down stage

Over countries

Plum trees

Chants

& sage

I see your face

Somewhere down

The isle

In the seats

In front of me

Through the pleats of life

I feel you growing

Stronger w out me

Sitting here at home

Already going

Leaving in just

Short moment

The stewardess

Isn’t quite here yet

& I guess

I just

haven’t pushed off yet
