i love you in my day dreams

it makes sense that i’m flying above the clouds right now. it fits perfectly with the state of my emotions and where my feet psychically feel. i am high. high on possibly. high on self esteem. high on the pride i have have for myself for successfully completing sixteen silent days. high on all the prayers + wishes you sent up here in these clouds for me to heal as fast as i did. and did i ever! my vocal chords look like that of a child. a newborn newness. untouched, un-worn, un-used + un-abused. this is the beginning of something good. this is surely the beginning of a new chapter for me. one that doesn’t involve pushing so hard to speak, canceling every other gig, or using a dreaded dry erase board. this surgery + recovery means so much more than just singing better. it means big things like hanging out with you more. meeting you after shows. visiting more radio stations. visiting more countries. singing longer sets. writing more songs. going to social events. enjoying my career. and little things like humming + laughing out loud. today is new. i was just reading a book to pass the time when i stopped + put the airline classical music channel on + just stared out the window. i don’t want to pass the time up here. i want to look out into the clouds, the horizon + the array of beautiful hughes and day dream— for my day dream today is not filled with doubt, stress or incessant worry… no my day dream is magic. mystical. loving. endless. melodic. + passionate. i don’t even know what im dreaming but i know its big.
