A long ride

I took a drive To clear my mind To the mountains Left the world behind Air so fresh Skies so blue Troubling thoughts Only of you A selfish soul A wandering eye Any skirt would do Don’t ask me why Sitting on this mountain How free I feel From regrets or mercy My senses reel As darkness looms The moon appears A blanket of stars Deletes my fears

Better to chase sunsets than to chase skirts, Confucius say. Nice write, Kelli, and congrats on this one being in the 'top 100' of recent poems. ~ gw

I used to chase sunsets during the COVID lockdown to clear my mind. It was ethereal, though I had no heartbreak to ponder, I found release for my many thoughts. I love how you connect "My senses reel" with "as darkness looms". This communicates to me falling physical darkness and emotional turmoil, but then a sense of peace is felt in that darkness. Well penned!
