Poem 5

Summer of ‘19 

The sound of the waves healing my soul 

The sand caresses my skin 

 

Death taking any kind of hope away 

But that was just before coming face to face with you 

And your particular and hopeful vision of a runaway American Dream 

 

You brought glorious technicolor to my life 

A life all covered in grey  

Cause that’s what friends do 

 

Feeling nothing but amazement while reading every line in that little notebook 

Only means of access to the deepest part of your complex mind 

 

You taught me how it feels to live like a Rolling Stone 

Keep wondering how to make it count 

The answer is still blowing in the wind  

 

Free, ambitious, intellectual minds 

Hungry hearts can’t be stopped by anyone 

But somehow baby we were born to run
