Heart grounded, Head in the clouds.
Cherish all my dreams....

Get your head outta the clouds, Kai
It's never gonna happen
F*cking figure it out, Kai
It's not meant to be...

I go to bed 
with my head in the clouds 
dreaming of immortality

I wake up in bed 
with my head in the sheets
having to face reality...

When you start to swirl 
If you do not know where you are 
Your head in the clouds 
a taste of the off balance 
just stop and look in my eyes....

I walk around
head in the clouds
eyes on my phone
constantly texting you.

you're always on my mind
always in my dreams
name doodled on my homework
you're gaining a spot in my heart...

Head in the clouds
    Feet on the ground
  The Patriarch Jacob
    viewed angels all 'round

  You and I can do the same
    Let's not drop our sights down
  For we were chosen to be
    ~ Humanity's crown...

Hard to land the plane when building it on the fly
Yet it’s ok to keep our head in the clouds while we try
Eventually we’ll lower our landing gear from up high
But for now keep dreaming and reinventing up in the sky...

in fall's sudden storm

withering gold leaves scatter . . .

my head in dark clouds

What I like about Rain

What I like about rain is, that although it starts off as arrogant with it's head in   the clouds, at least in the end, it humbles itself and comes down to earth.

I see you
Sad and so
Scared too.
I see you
So, lost
In thought
I see you
Broken
And unspoken
I see you
Afraid of yourself
And wanting help
I see you
Nervous about
Having your
Head in the clouds
And becoming sore.
I see you!...

Head in the clouds,
Yet capable of flying back down to the earth.
Her wings represent the value of freedom,
How she also can fly anywhere else,
But also how she returns her feet back to the ground,
To heal her own or others' inner doubts 
With the parts of grand truth she has found....

People 
speak of 
"head in the clouds"
but 
what about 
cloudy mind?
Muddled,
confused, 
a blend of 
many emotions.
How do you fix 
a muddled mind?
how do you put back together 
a puzzle 
scattered across the globe?
How do you cure a bottomless pit of loneliness?
This is an answer I will 
ponder, 
never know...

I count the steps from my bed to the door
And I wonder if I can.
I count the steps from my bed to the door
And I wonder if I dare not to.
I've spent years wondering--
I've kept my head in the clouds,
Or in books,
Or under the sheets
To be anywhere but here.
There must have been times when I've been elsewhere
But right now, I forget....

What a cold January day,
The frost lays on the ground like a blanket
Not even the determined woodpecker
Has come out to tap on the side of the house.
All is quiet in this small town
The blackbirds pick at the unturned dirt
Hoping to find some kind of food
The sun pokes its head through the clouds
And cast light on the frost bitten earth....

A story to tell
An answer to all
Why do I feel
Like I'm going to fall
Standing up straight 
My head to the clouds
Walking without guides
Because I'm too proud
I lean to the left
And can't keep my feet
I reach to the right
And fall to the street
I thank God for life
And feeling the ground
And knowing that I too
Can finally be found...

I think I should have
Been born a tree -
- Maybe a silvered birch
With feather veined
Leaves -
- I could greet 
My tall reflections
That swim saintly inside
The nearby streams -
- Or a lofty, leafy oak,
Crying slow orange tears in autumn
And being a shoulder
For solemn lonely birds
To cry on - 
- It has been said
That I always had my head in the clouds....

i attempt to take a breath as structure slips away,
two lips and a whisper changed a universe today,

patterns contort and minds tilt ajar,
my soul is dumbfounded in sight of this art,


head in the clouds, where home isn't far,
seems ages away, knee deep in the stars,

i know not, the language,
i can not define,
but i know that its coming,
it's growing, it's mine....

Young
beauty
on the cusp
of womanhood,
head in the clouds, dreams
in her eyes. She ponders
life - her life. Why was she born?
What will she become? Will she get
married? Will she have kids? She shrugs her 
shoulders and runs off to play with her friends.

For my granddaughter Hannah who just turned 12.

Why can't I live with my head in the clouds?
People like me,
We live with our heads high above the clouds, 
And that is where we, where I, thrive.
I'm a dreamer, 
Comfortable in the dreams for the future,
In hopes of possibilities,
In hopes of improvement.

The "now" is where I'm reduced to a hollow of a person,
The "now" is where I shrivel.
I can not live in
The "now".
I must live in the clouds....

It could start with a wish
A wish to be away
Away from work
So you start to dream
What if...
I wonder…
Then your mind wonders
It could start with a leaf
A leaf on a beanstalk
A giant beanstalk that Jack climbed
So you try to focus
What did I miss…
I don’t get it…
Then you go back to dreaming
It could start with caramel
A caramel apple
Maybe applesauce
And then the bell rings
Time to get you head out of the clouds...

There is whirlpool in my head
A storm of unformed thoughts
A gallery of fleeting images
A staccato of blaring sounds

Arms outstretched I reach for a dream
Amidst a million divergent voices
Here’s my intelligence playing tricks on me
Damn the metaphors and speak plainly

Head in the clouds i reach for that dream
Till the calming of stormy thoughts 
When pictures of perfection light up my mind
And crystallized serenity is attained...
