The Cast Away

I fell through a rocky hole in the ground;

Dark with depth, bitter as a catacomb.

Fell from the sky, through deep, lush greens --

Trees as tall as skyscrapers loomed above me.

I landed softly on unspoiled, fertile terrain;

Abundant plants surrounded me, pregnant with life’s reign.

I had arrived in an unused world, yet my footsteps were not companionless,

Elegant creatures greeted me with bouquets of fragrant spring cress.

They asked about my garb, which were in sloven appearance;

They questioned my vehicle, the cause of my interference.

I explained I am as plain as water, never a doctor or lawyer.

I was a simple worker -- caught up in something much larger.

I then closed my eyes and inhaled the rich earth;

Air completely free of corruption, land of pure worth.

This coincidental adventure was contrived by chance.

Now I am a cast away lost in salacious content.

Above the Trees

Above the trees

I can feel the clouds upon my skin

Above the trees

I no longer see the rain

I want to feel the sun

to know its true

It's just a feeling

that I just can't fight

All I want is to impress you

Above the trees

I can feel the stars upon my skin

Above the trees

I no longer see the earth

I want to feel the stars

to know they're real

It's just a thought

that I want to get lost in

All I want is to feel

Above the trees

I can feel the dream upon my skin

Above the trees

I can let the dream carry me away

I want to feel it

to know its true

And if I start to cry

I'll turn back around

and head on home

leaving my dreams in the sky
