Dream

This Easter I had a dream, I found myself on a plane that had seating that was a lot like a school bus with white interior and the classic blue seats.  There were people standing around, laughing and being all kinds of loud, but I knew I was there for another purpose.  There had been a murder on the plane and everybody knew it, so I was trying to solve it- I think that was specifically why I was there.  I interviewed multiple people.  The first woman was much too shy to even look at me, the next few people could offer no details of the actual crime but they were more than willing to offer their condolences to the deceased and approve of my own investigations.  Time ticks on and I see some of my friends are the ones laughing and standing in the corner.  I have no desire to go to them.  I return to the investigation with even more fervor as the announcement comes that the plane will be taking off shortly and returning to schedule.  I scramble to find anyone who can show me the body or tell me any concrete details, where he was sitting, who was around him.  Heck, I don't even really know if he was a guy, I just sensed it.  And so I woke up, nothing solved, and I smile, because it just makes everything seem so beautiful :)

I always knew it was going to hurt, all this coordination, there's no productivity in freedom, we all pull and tear in different directions, and what more does life take but direction?

The Deep

I wish the surface was all that mattered
I wish I could live there forever
but it's the deep that's where I live
and it's the deep the scars are kept
