Radio

Three hundred miles
Only a few hours
Faded green signs;
The sleep in my eyes
Crackling stations 
Between mountains 
They comfort me
Like a good book
Or the pull of a memory
Little glimpses of peace
White noise moments
They're gifts from time

Reminds me of trips to my grandma's cabin. Late at night, trying to find any station that'll actually play clearly. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

"White noise moments" - Love this!! You are so good at picking out the bits and pieces of life that are often overlooked and turning them into something golden.

Enjoyed this and related well with the couple of road trips we have done recently in the huge State of Texas-- radio/or CD.. things that keep the mind active. Well written -- your postings reveal a wonderful talent xx

I can relate from my days on the road. Now we have iPod interfaces so there are no musical interruptions. I like the mood of this piece.
