Horizontal Flight

Luxurious intentions looking for balance 
I crave purity in a world full of dust
Being reborn stirs up deja vu's
Relentless, Dark Evil throws  weights on my scale
Angels descend remolding my Soul...

I travel alone in the trip of life
Jewelry left behind but diamonds in the eyes
With blisters in my heart and oxygen enough
To hover freely over unwrinkled  canyons
I live in my car hoarding childhood giggles
Pelicans are my new pen pals 
                                            - their fate collide with mine -
addicted to the current of an upside down planet
I keep on filming Life until I say...Good Bye...
