A Week of Directing Jeremiah-
Friday night wrap at midnight-
Back at the apartment by 1 am-
Finally asleep at 1:49am-
Up again 4:43am-
To LA in the morning-
For two meetings with film makers-
And a big night at the DGA awards-
Too little time with my girls-
Putting myself on tape for an audition
And then back up North-
A 37 hour trip...

Morning Flight

Early to Rise
Shark sun skies
From out the mist
By the Chilled wind kissed
Pulled back in the seat
For the glory to climb
Higher we fly
I won’t be denied
By the Gods who protect me
And the children who smile
By heavens and angels
Or the fear that assails
Snow capped razors
Jagged and strong
Up from the Earth
Over distance, through song
Spectrum of sparkles in dew drops outside
Forever in motion this poem my guide...
