~ Someday ~
Driving along the coast with Casey and Jimmy
Doing the highway one journey, heading north
Three friends, starting at the inland port
Of Long Beach and The Queen Mary
Upon our way, toward the other cities aside the sea
Laguna, Venice, Sunset Beach
Redondo, where the surfers surfed
And the fishermen cast their lines, from upon the pier
Spent the night at Sunset, sipping brandy and watching the waves
As their crest glistened beneath the sparkling stars and brightened moon
Venice, with its vibrant crowd....
Rollerblading, amid all of the colors and the smiles, of its sunbathed throngs
We, upon our way towards Malibu, where we would make our final stop
A private retreat, shared with wonderful friends....
A bonfire, with a glass of wine, a beautiful girl, and an oceans tide
Laughter and celebration; happy birthday; and warm loving hands~
And at the end of it all, I stared upon the horizon
Beyond its disappearing blue, and beneath, my very own searching eyes....
So that I could realize and hear, as the silence stood still
Truth, and a voice inside of me, that told me
That this is not only for you; but it is for all of life....
Life, as I wrapped my arms about the rising sun
And then I blew a kiss, into the sky and unto them all
Thinking, smiling, knowing....
That someday, this will all be theirs
Heading north, with all of my friends...."Someday!"
