What would you do
If I were a raindrop
And you caught me in your palm?
Holding me close,
Would you see pure water;
The fragmented beauty of
Clouds' shattered shards?
Or would you see simply
Foggy rainwater,
Just a blank, little drop
With nothing to offer?
I'm scared to know the answer,
Shaking in my rain-boots.

I Am On An Airplane...
(I wrote this on the plane from New York to L.A. :) it's a combination of missing L.A. and my hometown in northern California.)
I WANT TO GO HOME;
Where the sun sets low
On Ocean's bend
Where the seagulls perch
On glassy shores
Where sun smiles down
On peaceful people
With my hands held high
To Heaven's gate
I praise the Name
I hear so loud
In my hometown
With people I know-
People who smile,
People who glow
Christmas is there,
Embedded in memories,
My family sings
A million melodies
HOME:
Where my heart lies,
Sleeping,
And never leaves.

And never leaves.
Earthquakes
Why is it that I feel butterflies here?
And why do I ride on this absence of fear?
Whenever you're near I can't even stand still
Like earthquakes shake objects on your windowsill
I quiver and burst as I stand in your light
And feel my heart's seizure as my veins ignite
Like a rainbow cracks glass in a bottle too tight
I swallow your love and it's like kryptonite
And though I am frightened of how I react
I'm scared that my heart's too far gone to turn back
I beckon her softly, but she won't come through;
She's fearless and stubborn when it comes to you
And part of me likes that together we're art
But part of me fears that we'll soon break apart.
