Road Trip

CATEGORY

just different

Views: 548

Our road lies ahead

like a ribbon unfurled.

Four wheels beneath us,

our day to day world

shrinking to a dot in my rearview –

 

Our westward vector

breeding anticipation.

Thirty-six hours

to our destination

where stars are visible

in the night time sky.

Some friends query, “Why?”

I no longer fly.

Because I’d miss all of this

from five point six-

eight miles high,

at subsonic speeds.

And life is too short

with no guarantees.

 

So with our faces awash

in tangerine hues

at the death of the sun

and rebirth of the moon,

we sample tunes

from each town we pass by.

I’d miss all of this

thirty thousand feet high

 

But what I find most pleasant

is my woman’s presence –

The fact that she’s here

beside me to share

in this fleeting moment

in time. Our minds cleared

by city lungs breathing

in country air,

and I can't enjoy

that from up there.
