Poem Title:
Poem
I have the need to feel free like I've got nothing to lose, I just want to get into my blue convertible and cruise. I'm growing tired and bored of this same old abode, I want to go much further than just down the road. I ease my dark sunglasses down over my brown eyes, as the summer evening sun begins setting low in the skies. My hand grips the steering wheel and my foot holds the throttle, as my lips take a long drink from a cold Coca-Cola bottle. I reach over and tune my radio to my favorite rock station, now I feel like driving through every state in this nation. I won't know where I'm going until I finally get there, All that I want to do is enjoy the wind blowing in my hair. I hold my hand out the window to feel the air through my fingers, I wish that I could always be where the free spirit lingers. Around the endless curves my car disappears into shade, far away in the distance my bright red tail-lights fade. I pass by rows of green trees and a thousand birds on a wire, the sky blazes a yellow-orange as if the clouds were on fire. I could not imagine anything better to end this perfect day, than an amazing view of sunset out on this lonesome highway. The air is becoming cooler as the day blurs into night, I feel so awake and alive in the sun's fading light. I keep traveling on down this lonely two-lane road, I drive into the sunset and forget my old abode. May 8th, 2014
