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
