Clouds

Above the clouds there is silence
Stillness in a white ocean’s flow
Cities, lakes, dots in space
Time relative to the feeling
That the vast world vaulting us
Is a colourful motion picture
In the window of our soul.
Meanwhile I sit quietly
In my reclined chair
Breathing slow
Gliding through
A bird in a moving flock
Playing with memories of you.

Home

Beyond this sleepy Utah desert
Moonlit ridges and lonesome roads
Beyond the people and city buildings
The salty lakes and snowy slopes.
Beyond Arizona, Navajo lands
And this crazy, crazy world.
There, beyond it all, lies a place
Where your welcoming embrace
Warms my heart when it’s zero below.
Where I get lost in your eyes
And kiss you a thousand times.
A place where time quits for a while
And the entire world stands still
To catch a glimpse of your smile.

Half Dome

Halfway around the world
An ancient forest grows old
Watched by a granite tower
A full moon, a half dome.
A half that is whole
An illusion by default
Calling out to the brave
Who dare to face her wall.
Halfway around the world
My heart brings you home
To the snow, to the valleys
Where I’ll watch you dance
While the fire falls.
