Solitude By the Reverie

As the rain pelted down on my windshield hypnotic wipers swayed back and forth stuck in a traffic mass exodus I exited south out of New York Deep in thought regarding the funeral in the solitude of my mobile sanctuary spellbound by memorable family scenes played out by my movie projector cerebral My eyes were glued to the road while my minds eye multi tasked very much aware that I was driving the surreal movie reel didn't last Once again I had been daydreaming as I pulled up to a stop sign just ahead and with a odd feeling that time had briefly stopped glanced at the time on my watch 5-29-18

Nicely written, Cheryl, my mind always wanders like that on my morning commute. Several of my poems have been written in my mind while commuting. John

Lovely verse Cheryl, daydreaming, something we all do then something happens and we come to with a start, feeling quite peaceful afterwards. Tom
