Empty Plane |
I leave for a living |
It’s what we all do |
And I say that I’m missing the ones that I’m leaving |
And I always do |
But another truth is that you |
Begin again every time you fly |
There’s peace in the airport |
Sitting at a gate by a door to the sky |
So it’s hard, but it’s not hard |
Fumble for your ID, credit card |
But then I walked on to |
But then I walked on to |
Then I walked on to |
An empty plane |
And the girl at the Starbucks |
Looked like she knew me |
She poured a design on the foam of my coffee |
And she was smiling |
I said «It's funny how life at its best expanse |
Explodes, and it overspills |
But we try to fit it all in a grid |
And we say it’s the strength of our will» |
And she started laughing |
She said «Look I made a wing, and another wing» |
And then I walked on to |
Then I walked on to |
Then I walked on to |
An empty plane |
I was moving fast now, understanding |
So much kindness, no frustration |
I asked the screener: |
«Does my life have a destiny? |
Or just a destination?» |
I thought I’d step away from my traveling |
Have a little time to connect the dots |
See my life like a spiral |
The DNA of my dreams and thoughts |
And I |
Believed |
In a legacy |
But I stood in the jet bridge |
And the young man nodded |
I looked at the name tag |
And said «Hello, Angel» |
It was all empty seats now |
Nothing in the overhead |
I sat near the front and I started sleeping |
And I woke in my own bed |
And I said «Oh it’s a dream |
But a dream that grows like a vision from a single spark» |
And I thanked my dream attendants |
And I rose and I dressed in the dark |
It was an early one today |
Yellow cab, JFK |
