Like I Have Never Known

His words bring me such comfort,
like I have never known,
to hear his stories of life,
I feel like I have flown.

The years for me are stale,
but his are vines that climb,
a stranger I have met,
a pilot so kind.

He takes me to the mountains,
and rides me on the clouds,
and over the desert,
where you never see a house.

Last night I went to Paris,
and climbed a tower of steel,
I am beginning to live,
I am beginning to feel.

I hope to see the Palm Trees,
in Hawaii very soon,
and maybe have some wine,
while gazing at the moon.

My journey is just beginning,
I am amazed at how some live,
a stranger I just met,
and how much he has to give.
