Windows (Half a World Away)

Staring at this screen
Your words lit up like the sunshine in the day
Though these windows bring you closer to me
You're still half a world away
Down to Earth, but I don't know
That even if I had the chance
I could ever live that kind of life
Through these windows, we all fit here
We're all the same even if the true personality
Lurks behind the facade
We see what they want us to see
But not me, what you see is what you get
I've got nothing here to hide
You see only me, its just me
They say that the eyes are a window to the soul
But for now, these windows will have to do
I remember your eyes, still, as long as I'm here
There's always a window left open for you
I hope the sun shines for you, always, my friend
If you ever need me, look through the window
I'm just half a world away

For Maurice.... a friend who lives across the pond.... half a world away
His birthday is the week after next....he's the chef for a major R-n-R band
and I haven't seen him since they last toured. I haven't heard from him in months.....

No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
After you die...you know how to LIVE!
And thanks to all in here who share these "windows"....
Lately its been just what I need!!

No I haven't heard from my friend. He's been busy I guess. I had painted a coffee mug (for his b-day) and I was going to send it to him, but the paint didn't take. So maybe by Christmas? I also sent him an e-card that someone from his address picked up...but no response from him :-*(
I've been pen pal-ing with him for about 6 yrs now and each year is less and less. He's older, and maybe when we met, he was thinking of me in a different light...I was never about that though.
I miss hearing about his life ...his kids and his grand-daughter. I think maybe he's found someone out on the road to keep him company.
And maybe if his brother's band would get off their arses and record something, I'll get to see him again. But I do have some memories and that's a smile's worth. I wish I could put them all in a photo album. The same thing for my work. Certain things have happened over the course of my employments at both arenas.... good and bad...
I prefer remembering the good stuff, but I also have to remember the bad with it. You know the saying,"when you lose, don't lose the lesson"
Somedays I'm just burned out of it. Yes I get to see alot of stuff people would die for. While its a privledge, there are just some days I don't feel like dealing with it. This last 2 years has been especially hard for me with my work. I wont go into detail, but I will say it has me re-thinking whether I want to stay in this business. I keep waiting for that epiphany (sp?) letting me know I'm on the right course. I know this much... I love music, but could never grow balls big enough to play in front of people, and now I'm out of practice. My work allows me the privledge to be around some of the very people I admire. Sometimes that's a good thing. Sometimes, not so much. And there's always the least expected surprise of someone you really didn't admire or follow, actually treating you like a person, talking and listening to you. Those are the times that really blow you away. For now though, this little spot here has been something of an addiction for me. Maybe even a calling... for me to get off my keester and write again. All the stuff I've posted is old stuff, written back around 2000 and posted on my aol webpage.
If nothing else, its given me a look back where I was. My next job is to finish a poem for Sammy Hagar. I started it a few years ago, and I also made him a dreamcatcher. I've been directing my creative energies into a couple of crafts.... Spring and summer---dreamcatchers, Fall and winter...gingerbread.
Its there, just focused on something different. I'm glad I found this place...
blame it on a wink and a smile from Eddie...
