Turbulence

Walking upside down

a million paces behind the morning

The stars my stepping stones,

The night sky my pond

I figure if anything can teach my feet

The right steps

In the dance of life

It would be the constellations.

Sometimes though

I look up at earth

And miss it so…

 I forget that it rarely had time for me

And back again, like a turbulent affair,

 to the ground I go

Strolling through

 a summer’s dream

The moon hides

Lost love behind its face

 Love that used to reside

between the sand

And ocean’s greeting kiss

Every time I walk the shore

I find that I miss you more

And back again, to the sky, I go.

Like a plane
 passing through,

A piece of me forever flies

Over a waving sea of goodbyes.

Everyday my life begins

At a vacation’s end.

My heart is a tired traveler

with no more postcards to send.
